Coffee For All Nations follows Palestinian Abed, who the Israeli army tried to force him out of his home in Al-Walaja village near Bethlehem in 1948. Abed persisted, staying in his village and living in a cave that he discovered on his land until the end of his life. While in his cave, which was in a spot that could be reached by Palestinians, Israelis and foreigners, he decided to open up a coffee shop. Through his coffee shop, Abed turned his own tragedy into a transformative project that allowed him to share his one true possession and a stunning view. A story of hope and resilience, Coffee for All Nations provides a wonderfully fresh backdrop to the injustices caused by war and occupation.
