No Other Land

One of the most important films of the year — winner of both the ‘Best Documentary’ and ‘Audience’ awards at the 2024 Berlin Film Festival — NO OTHER LAND is a sobering yet inspiring tale of Palestinian resistance under occupation.

Basel Adra is a young Palestinian activist and lawyer from Masafer Yatta, a group of Palestinian villages in the southern West Bank. Since childhood, he has been fighting his community’s mass expulsion — the largest single act of forced displacement ever carried out in the West Bank — by the Israeli occupation.

Yuval Abraham, an Israeli investigative journalist, lives a starkly different life to Adra. Striking up an unlikely friendship, the two commit themselves to documenting and protesting the demolition of Palestinian communities in the West Bank. With the help of an Israeli-Palestinian filmmaking collective, they capture the IDF destroying homes, razing schools and playgrounds, and sealing drinking wells to establish a military training ground. 

A front-runner for the Best Documentary Oscar and audience award winner at numerous festivals worldwide, NO OTHER LAND is a vital and inspiring testament to the resilience of the Palestinian people.
