No Other Land
Multi-award-winning, urgent documentary in which a Palestinian activist and an Israeli journalist capture how Palestinian villages in the West Bank are being destroyed and residents displaced.
Basel Adra, a young Palestinian activist from Masafer Yatta on the West Bank, has been fighting the mass expulsion of his community by Israel’s occupation since childhood. He documents the slow-motion eradication of the villages in his home region where soldiers deployed by the Israeli government are gradually demolishing houses and driving out their residents. At some point, he meets Yuval, an Israeli journalist, who supports him in his efforts. An unlikely alliance develops. But the relationship between the two is strained by the enormous inequality between them: Basel lives under military occupation while Yuval lives freely and without restrictions.
This film by a Palestinian-Israeli collective of four young activists has been made as an act of creative resistance on the path to greater justice. The film has won dozens of awards, including audience awards at the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA), the Berlin International Film Festival, and the European Film Award for Best Documentary.
