Winner of the Maysles Brothers Competition at Docs Ireland and The Tim Hetherington award at Sheffield Doc Fest, No Other Land follows Basel Adra, a Palestinian activist, who films his community of Masafer Yatta being destroyed by Israel’s occupation, as he builds an unlikely alliance with an Israeli a journalist who wants to join his fight.

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.
