This essay film follows a Scotland-based Palestinian filmmaker who unearths rare, undigitized 16mm archival footage from the 1930s and 1940s shot by a British missionary in Palestine. Originally cataloging regional wildflowers under colonial occupation, the footage is reassembled by Panagopoulos to subvert the colonial gaze, offering a poetic form of testimony and resistance against cultural erasure.
