No Other Land: Screening and Discussion
A Palestinian activist films his community being destroyed by occupation, as he builds an unlikely alliance with an Israeli journalist.
Join us for a screening of the 2025 Oscar-nominated documentary No Other Land, created by a Palestinian-Israeli collective of four young activists.
Basel Adra, a young Palestinian activist from Masafer Yatta, has been fighting his community's mass expulsion by the Israeli occupation since childhood. Basel documents the gradual erasure of Masafer Yatta, as soldiers destroy the homes of families - the largest single act of forced transfer ever carried out in the occupied West Bank. He crosses paths with Yuval Abraham, an Israeli journalist who joins his struggle, and for over half a decade they fight against the expulsion while growing closer. Their complex bond is haunted by the extreme inequality between them: Basel, living under a brutal military occupation, and Yuval, unrestricted and free.
