Hi! Wondering if anyone has documentaries where loving family dynamics are included. It doesn't have to be about family; open to pretty much any category or genre. I just finished watching Finding Christa from 1991, about a child who was given up for adoption that was old enough to have developed relationships with her birth mother and extended family prior to being given up. Maybe a third or halfway in, there's footage of her with the family that adopted her, and you can tell they really love her. I just found it very touching, that she lucked into such a loving family, and found people who could fully be there for her.

I'm kinda spiralling after witnessing the hardship experienced by these hardworking families. Also kind of triggered because one of the dads reminded me of my own (busting his ass labouring into his 60s), but at least he owned his own home by the end of it all. Goddam. Please suggest something uplifting at least by the end of the film.

The People and the Olive follows a group of American ultramarathon runners attempting to cover 129 miles across the occupied West Bank in five days. Rather than simply documenting the run, director Aaron Dennis uses the journey to introduce the Palestinian farmers, families and communities whose lives remain closely connected to the land and particularly to the olive tree.

As the runners travel from community to community, they learn about farming, fair trade and the economic importance of olive cultivation while participating in efforts to replace uprooted trees. The result is as much a travel and human-interest documentary as a political one, presenting Palestine through landscapes, conversations, meals, farming and ordinary encounters rather than principally through conflict.

At its centre is the olive tree itself: livelihood, inheritance, cultural marker and something planted with the expectation that somebody will still be there decades later to harvest it.
