Description

“No Other Land” is the Academy Award winner for Best Documentary Feature and has won more than 50 major awards at prestigious film festivals around the world.


Basel Adra, a young Palestinian activist from Masafer Yatta, has been fighting his community's mass expulsion by the Israeli occupation since childhood. Basel documents the gradual erasure of Masafer Yatta, as soldiers destroy the homes of families — the largest single act of forced transfer ever carried out in the occupied West Bank.


He crosses paths with Yuval, an Israeli journalist who joins his struggle, and for over half a decade they fight against the expulsion while growing closer. Their complex bond is haunted by the extreme inequality between them: Basel, living under a brutal military occupation, and Yuval, unrestricted and free.


This film, by a Palestinian-Israeli collective of four young activists, was co-created during the darkest, most terrifying times in the region, as an act of creative resistance to Apartheid and a search for a path towards equality and justice.


“The most urgent film of the year.” — Richard Lawson, Vanity Fair


“Audacious and devastating.” — Alissa Wilkinson, New York Times


“Concise, powerful and damning.” — David Ehrlich, IndieWire
