About the Film:
Basel Adra, a young Palestinian activist from Masafer Yatta, has been fighting for his community's mass expulsion by the Israeli occupation since childhood. Basel documents the gradual erasure of Masafer Yatta, as soldiers destroy the homes of families - the largest single act of forced transfer ever carried out in the occupied West Bank. He crosses paths with Yuval, an Israeli journalist who joins his struggle, and for over half a decade they fight against the expulsion while growing closer to each other. 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 by a Palestinian-Israeli collective of four young activists, was co-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.
The film captures the harsh realities of life under occupation—home demolitions, military violence, and the emotional toll on those resisting oppression. More than just a documentary, it is a testament to human resilience and unexpected alliances. At a time when global conversations about human rights, displacement, and resistance are more urgent than ever, No Other Land offers an unflinching look at life under Israeli military. It forces us to confront difficult questions and amplifies voices that demand to be heard.
