Which Australian documentary about hummus was released by Trevor Graham in 2012?

The Australian documentary about hummus released by Trevor Graham in 2012 is Make Hummus Not War.

Graham wrote, directed and produced the documentary, which treats hummus as both food and a lens on Middle Eastern history, identity and politics. Rather than presenting a conventional military conflict, the film examines the cultural disputes surrounding who can claim the dish and what its shared popularity might reveal about common ground.

The project grew partly from the so-called “hummus war,” including a 2008 Lebanese effort to challenge Israel’s presentation of hummus as a national food. Graham approaches the subject personally as a self-described hummus enthusiast, combining culinary travel with reflections on friendship, migration and regional conflict.

Make Hummus Not War premiered at the Melbourne International Film Festival in August 2012. It is sometimes confused with food documentaries such as Food, Inc. or Jiro Dreams of Sushi, but Graham’s film is specifically an Australian documentary connecting chickpeas and hummus with Middle Eastern cultural politics.
