In the Name of the Olive is a documentary project that approaches the olive tree not merely as an agricultural product, but as a symbol of memory and deeply rooted belonging.

The film presents the olive tree not only as a source of nourishment, but as a powerful emblem of peace, solidarity, and collective memory passed down through generations. Much like the deep roots of the olive tree itself, the documentary reveals how human relationships endure time and geography with resilience. Through an aesthetic visual language, it traces a cultural journey from traditional production processes to the shared table.

By uncovering the stories hidden behind each tree and exploring the olive’s millennia-old history, the documentary places the olive tree at the center as a symbol of coming together. As it documents the journey from cultivation to communal sharing, the film fosters a broader awareness of both humanity and nature—presenting the olive tree’s enduring connection to peace and renewal as a reminder of shared human values.
