Description
Every year, Alaa’s mother sends a gift of separation from her home in Jenin to her sister in Amman. A container of olive oil made from his grandfather’s olive trees. And this year, as every year, Alaa is delivering it himself. Carrying a large yellow container, he leaves his home alongside thousands of other Palestinians. To make this journey, he must cross ‘the bridge’ in the heart of Jordan Valley - the only way Palestinians in the West Bank are permitted to leave or return home. But the container leaks, dripping oil throughout its journey through border crossings, Israeli occupation, and into Jordan.
