Girato tra il 1973 e il 1975, L'Olivier è stato prodotto dal Vincennes Cinema Group. Questo collettivo attivista di insegnanti e registi, formatosi in occasione di questo film, tenta di spiegare il problema palestinese attraverso interviste. L'Olivier è stato uno dei primi film a tentare di dare sostanza a ciò che in Occidente era ancora largamente ignorato: l'esistenza del popolo palestinese e la sua lotta per recuperare i propri diritti. L'Olivier risponde a una preoccupazione: il già debole sostegno dell'opinione pubblica francese alla causa palestinese è diminuito in seguito all'operazione di Monaco del 1972. Strutturato in modo tale da raccontare la storia palestinese e spiegare lo stato della lotta in quel momento, il film fa appello alla solidarietà militante globale e, in particolare, agli impegni politici europei.
