No Other Land
The winner of this years Best Documentary Feature at the Oscars (despite not having a major distributor for release in the United States), No Other Land is a warts and all account of a relatively unknown struggle taking place in West Bank’s Masafer Yatta region where local Palestinian residents are battle occupation at the hands of Israeli forces.
This film, made by a Palestinian-Israeli collective, shows the destruction of the occupied West Bank’s Masafer Yatta by Israeli soldiers and the alliance which develops between the Palestinian activist Basel and Israeli journalist Yuval.
“As a documentary, and as a statement, the message of No Other Land is obvious but vitally important: that war affects everyone, not just soldiers, and that we should set our political differences aside to allow everyone to live harmoniously in peace.” – LA Weekly
