No Other Land

creators: Basel Adra, Hamdan Ballal, Yuval Abraham, Rachel Szor

Basel Adra, a young Palestinian activist from Masafer Yatta on the West Bank, has been fighting the mass expulsion of his community by Israel’s occupation since childhood. He documents the slow-motion eradication of the villages in his home region where soldiers deployed by the Israeli government are gradually demolishing houses and driving out their residents. At some point, he meets Yuval, an Israeli journalist, who supports him in his efforts. An unlikely alliance develops. But the relationship between the two is strained by the enormous inequality between them: Basel lives under military occupation while Yuval lives freely and without restrictions.

This film by a Palestinian-Israeli collective of four young activists has been made as an act of creative resistance on the path to greater justice.

The film has been screened at major festivals, beginning its tour with a premiere at the Berlin Festival, where it won the Best Documentary and Audience Awards. It has reached influential audiences, including human rights organizations, diplomats, and politicians—key figures capable of creating international pressure on Israel and driving change. We will continue to support the filmmakers during their U.S. tour, aiming to reach large and impactful audiences there as well.
