dropping knowledge shot ‘What Is Your Tree?’ at the South Central farm in Los Angeles on June 1, 2006. The farm, which supports 350 families who grow their own food, is the largest community-garden in the US. After the land was sold by the city of Los Angeles to a private property-developer, the South Central Farmers fought and lost a two-year court battle to save the land they have farmed for 12 years. On May 23, 2006, celebrities, activists and the local community joined the farmers in staging a ‘tree sit’ to save the farm. This is the short version of our film.

On Monday, July 3, 2006, a street-football team made up of young Israelis and Palestinians played a local side in Mariannenplatz, Kreuzberg, Berlin, as part of the street football world festival 06. The team was in Germany thanks to the Peres Center for Peace’s ‘Twinned Peace Sport Schools’ initiative, which brings Palestinian and Israeli children from disadvantaged communties together for sports training and peace education. At the game, dropping knowledge met Peres Center Sports Unit directors Roni Asoulin from Israel and Anwar Zaidan from Palestine, and caught up with the action.
