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. (NR, 92 min.)
(TBD)
For half a decade, Basel Adra, a Palestinian activist, films his community of Masafer Yatta being destroyed by Israel's occupation, as he builds an unlikely alliance with an Israeli journalist who wants to join his fight. No Other Land is an unflinching account of a community's mass expulsion and acts as a creative resistance to Apartheid and a search for a path towards equality and justice.

— Dwight Brown, DwightBrownInk.com
"The film is consistently gripping and harrowing, while including delicate moments of optimism."
— Kevin Maher, Times (UK)
"It is a wrenching movie to see... 'No Other Land' is a piece of resistance but also humanization."
— Mark Kennedy, Associated Press
"Watching No Other Land is like learning another language, but it’s not just the speaking that’s important. It’s the listening."
— Sam Adams, Slate
"Eventually in this urgent, despairing film, even the basic human principle of friendship across conflict starts to feel imperilled."
— Danny Leigh, Financial Times
"This is essentially a video diary compiled by Basel and Yusuf showing life through their eyes. It’s a moving, challenging watch."
— Olly Richards, Time Out
"If anything can be described as essential viewing, it’s this stark and unflinching account of life on the ground in a contested region of the West Bank."
— Wendy Ide, Observer (UK)
"Inherently hopeful. Even as the bulldozers rumble, and soldiers take the safety off around kids, and goons point cameras in Abraham’s face and threaten Facebook-fueled revenge, there’s hope that the juggernaut of oppression can be stopped."
— Richard Whittaker, Austin Chronicle
