Two young men, one Palestinian and one Israeli, are unlikely allies documenting forced displacement in the West Bank together.
For years, Basel Adra, a young Palestinian activist filmmaker, has been documenting life in Masafer Yatta, in the occupied West Bank. Joined by Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham, the pair broadcast the community’s forced displacement by the Israeli military and settlers, as well as its resistance. Even as Basel and Yuval strike up a friendship, the inequalities in their circumstances are amplified: mobility and opportunities are available to one, but denied to another.
Tight editing of personal and public footage forms a compelling narrative centred on the loss and injustice that colonialism brings. No Other Land is an urgent and frank portrait of Palestinian life under occupation, and the sustained fight for freedom.
