No Other Land

Made by a Palestinian-Israeli collective, this documentary shows the destruction of the West Bank’s Masafer Yatta by Israeli authorities and the unlikely friendship that blossoms between Palestinian activist Basel Adra and Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham.
No Other Land toont de vernietiging van Masafer Yatta op de Westelijke Jordaanoever door Israëlische autoriteiten en de onwaarschijnlijke alliantie die ontstaat tussen de Palestijnse activist Basel en de Israëlische journalist Yuval. De film is gemaakt door een Palestijns-Israëlisch collectief van vier activisten als een daad van verzet op weg naar gerechtigheid tijdens het aanhoudende conflict in de regio. De film ging in première op het Filmfestival van Berlijn en won daar de Best Documentary Award en de Panorama Dokumente Audience Award.
Basel Adra, jeune activiste palestinien originaire de Masafer Yatta, en Cisjordanie, mène depuis son plus jeune âge une lutte acharnée contre l’expulsion forcée de sa communauté par les autorités israéliennes. Il documente avec rigueur la destruction progressive des villages de sa région, où les soldats israéliens démolissent les habitations et chassent les résidents. Au cours de son combat, il croise le chemin de Yuval, un journaliste israélien qui décide de l’épauler. Une alliance inattendue voit le jour entre eux. Néanmoins, leur relation est mise à rude épreuve par l’immense disparité qui les sépare : Basel vit sous occupation militaire, tandis que Yuval jouit d’une liberté totale, sans contraintes. Ce film, réalisé par un collectif palestino-israélien composé de quatre jeunes activistes, s’impose comme un acte de résistance créative en quête de justice.
