After his son is killed, a Palestinian father’s pursuit of vengeance drags him into a brutal spiral of crime and corruption that could destroy his remaining family.

Sørfond Jury Statement: 

«A powerful story about family, love, and the impossible choices people make when the systems around them fail. Set in the West Bank, it follows a father and brother navigating grief after the sudden and violent loss of a son, asking a haunting question: what would you do to save your child from a world that has already decided their fate? 

The film offers a rare and intimate glimpse into Palestinian life beyond the headlines, revealing the complexities of access, class, and life under an entrenched authority. While rooted in a landscape shaped by oppression and uncertainty, the story is carried by richly drawn characters whose humor, tenderness, and resilience refuse to be extinguished. As grief turns into a search for justice, the family is forced to confront the reality that the rules were never designed to protect them. Their choices challenge audiences to consider what they would do when faced with political failure, moral compromise, and impossible odds. Black Harvest is a gripping and deeply human portrait of a family fighting to hold onto hope, dignity, and each other when everything else threatens to slip away»
