About the film
No Other Land documents the destruction and forced displacement in Masafer Yatta, in the occupied West Bank. The film follows the alliance and deep friendship between Palestinian activist and journalist Basel Adra and Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham. Together they confront unequal rights and the daily violence of mass demolitions carried out by the Israeli army and settlers, using their cameras as crucial tools for denunciation, memory and the pursuit of justice in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
