BBC, July 22, 2003: The award winning film The Olive
Harvest by California-based Palestinian
film director Hanna Elias has received a mixed reception at a
screening in
the West Bank where the love story is set...
The film was financed
by Kamran Elahian, an Iranian American venture
capitalist from Silicon Valley, who also helps run a range of charities
in
the region. "The only time in America that we
hear about Palestinians is when there is
a suicide bombing. Because of that the average American thinks
that all
Palestinians are terrorists," he said. Sent by Laleh
