Salma Zidane is a Palestinian widow who faithfully tends her father’s 50-year old lemon grove. When the Israeli Defense Minister moves in next door, he decides that the grove poses a security threat and orders it cut down. The legal battle that follows becomes a parable for the entire Israeli/Palestinian conflict. The Lemon Tree 106 minutes long and directed by Eran Riklis (The Syrian Bride). NJJFF extra! is presented by The New Jersey Jewish Film Festival. For more information, visit www.njjff.org or contact Heather Sorkin at 973-530-3473 (hsorkin@jccmetrowest.org).
