Review of Lemon Tree

Lemon Tree (2008)
7/10
Screaming at the TV
2 July 2010
Warning: Spoilers
For this very good title my mother was watching it with me after recording it off film4. she was screaming and outraged at the treatment of the lady with the lemon tree grove and how the head of defence across the border was treating her with such a bad attitude, portrayed as if he was opposing the cut down, when really he was supporting the deforestation of her family grove of lemons.

The film follows her struggle even showing how the defence minister has uprooted other groves elsewhere in the from of olive trees in the safety of people and the worry of terrorism, which is what seals her trees fate.

The state and the government of Israel against a Palestinean agriculturist, this film is truly moving and makes you side for the 'little people'. Not many films get me so on side like this but this is good and shows how in those countries the people and especially women are treated bad and are not taken into account.

A must see, for womens rights.
