For half a decade, Palestinian activist B asel Adra has been filming how his community of Masafer Yatta in the West Bank is being destroyed by the Israeli occupation. He documents the daily repression and forms an unlikely alliance with an Israeli journalist who wants to join his fight, even though he comes from a different reality. NO OTHER LAND also shows how unexpected alliances can arise in the midst of destruction and suffering. At the Berlinale 2024, the film won both the Best Documentary Award and the Audience Award.
