For half a decade, Basel Adra, a Palestinian activist, filmed his community of Masafer Yatta being destroyed by Israel’s occupation. He built an unlikely alliance with an Israeli journalist that wanted to join his fight. The result is the Academy Award winning documentary No Other Land.

Director’s Statement: We’re making this film together, a Palestinian-Israeli group of activists and filmmakers, because we want to stop the ongoing expulsion of the community of Masafer Yatta, and resist the reality of Apartheid we were born into–from opposite, unequal sides. Reality around us is becoming scarier, more violent, more oppressive, every day–and we are very weak in front of it. We can only shout out something radically different, this film–which at its core, is a proposal for an alternate way Israelis and Palestinians can live in this land–not as oppressor and oppressed, but in full equality.
