NO OTHER LAND By Basel Adra, HamdanBallal, Yuval Abraham & Rachel Szor
Since childhood Basel Adra, a young Palestinian activist from Masafer Yatta, has been fighting his community's mass expulsion by the Israeli occupation to make way for Israeli settlements. For half a decade, he has been filming its gradual erasure, as soldiers destroy the homes of families - the largest single act of forced transfer ever carried out in the occupied West Bank. In the process, he crossed paths with Yuval, an Israeli journalist who joined his struggle. 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 was 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. It has been nominated for an Academy Award.
