The movie Lemon Tree is an awesome film that shows and explains the situation in Israel and Palestine. The conflict that has been there since many years ago, is shown by both perspectives by this film. Salma is a Palestinian woman that lost his husband and the only thing that has left is a lemon tree grove near the barrier between Israeli and Palestinian lands.
The internal conflict of the movie starts because the secret service from an important minister tells him that the grove from Salma is considered a menace for him. Then everything starts flowing around this grove. And the grove little problem evolves into an international issue between Israelis and Palestinians. The grove news start appearing everywhere including television, radio, and even newspapers. Salma and her lawyer are in a legal fight between the Israeli courts and their are fighting back with each piece of evidence they can to support their ideas and save the grove. In the whole process they never fall back and only stood firm in their position. The most interesting thing in the movie is that even though they didn't won the fight, and could not prevent the grove from being cutted becuase of the injustice of those lands, they generated a big impact through the world and never surrendered. They created big impact because it was one of the first cases of that magnitude between Israelis and Palestinias. Also because it was one of the longests cases of this type ever existed.
