Higher Grounds is proud to be sponsoring the movie Miral in the Traverse City Film Festival this year. This is an autobiography based on a novel written by Rula Jebreal. It is the story of a young girl growing up in a turbulent Palestine. Miral is a student at an orphanage/school that preaches nonviolence and peace. When the first Palestinian uprising began in 1987 Miral began to question her nonviolent beliefs. 
Higher Grounds is sponsoring the movie in hopes to spread understanding and tolerance. As a retailer and wholesaler of Fair Trade and Organic Palestinian Olive Oil we are making an effort to support the farmers. We believe this support must start with education about their culture and an understanding of cultural differences.
