Description:

MEMBERS ONLY join us for our monthly tabling at Portland's First Friday event! This is a monthly activity that is an easy way to get involved with the chapter. We table along Congress Street in Portland (usually try to post up near SPACE gallery) and chat with passers by about our organization, the important work we're up to, offer folks merch, and get folks signed up! It's a great way to help out that doesn't require any experience. By signing up, you're signaling that you would like to help us out on this specific day.

Sponsored by Maine DSA, Peace Action Maine, and Maine Voices for Palestinian Rights

Foragers depicts the dramas around the practice of foraging for wild edible plants in Palestine/Israel with wry humor and a meditative pace. Shot in the Golan Heights, the Galilee and Jerusalem, it employs fiction, documentary and archival footage to portray the impact of Israeli nature protection laws on these customs. The restrictions prohibit the collection of the artichoke-like ’akkoub and za’atar (thyme), and have resulted in fines and trials for hundreds caught collecting these native plants. For Palestinians, these laws constitute an ecological veil for legislation that further disposses them from their land while the occupation's state representatives insist on their scientific expertise and duty to protect. Following the plants from the wild to the kitchen, from the chases between the foragers and the nature patrol, to courtroom defenses, Foragers captures the joy and knowledge embodied in these traditions alongside their resilience to the prohibitive law. By reframing the terms and constraints of preservation, the film raises questions around the politics of extinction, namely who determines what is made extinct and what gets to live on.
