Basel Adra, a Palestinian activist, films as his community of Masafer Yatta is gradually eradicated by the destruction and forced displacements of the Israeli occupation. Adra builds an unlikely alliance with Yuval, an Israeli journalist who reports on what his own government is doing to the West Bank communities. Substantially made before the Hamas attacks of October 2024, and Israel’s subsequent assault on Gaza, this extraordinary piece of reportage by a Palestinian-Israeli collective offers an insider view of a West Bank community resisting a programme of demolition by the Israeli army. Winner of the Best Documentary prize and Audience award in the Berlin Film Festival’s Panorama section, No Other Land is an urgent plea for empathy and understanding.
