Foragers explores the practice of foraging wild edible plants in Palestine/Israel.
Blending fiction, documentary, and archival footage,
it examines the impact of Israeli laws restricting the collection of native plants
like ’akkoub and za’atar,
highlighting the tension between traditional practices and state-enforced conservation.
The film raises questions about the politics of preservation
and the power to decide what is allowed to endure.
