On Thursday, Dec. 13, at 7 p.m., Frankfort’s Garden Theatre will show The People and the Olive, a documentary created by Aaron Dennis and Glen Arbor Sun editor Jacob Wheeler, as well as music by Joshua Davis from his forthcoming album “A Miracle of Birds”. The film follows this year’s Run Across Palestine — a five-day ultra-marathon across the West Bank of Palestine to illuminate the struggles of fair-trade olive farmers. Davis’ album is inspired by the run, and his experiences as a Jewish-American in Palestine. Learn more about the film here.
Doors will open at 6 p.m. for fair-trade olive oil tasting, a chance to meet some of the runners and shop for olive oil, Run Across Palestine shirts and DVDs of the film. A question-and-answer session with filmmaker Aaron Dennis will follow the movie. Tickets cost $10 and are available at Charlie’s Natural Food Market in Frankfort or at the door. An after party will follow at The Cabbage Shed in Elberta.
