No Other Land: Oscar-winning documentary on Palestinian resistance now streaming on MUBI
The documentary 'No Other Land', directed by a collective of Palestinian and Israeli filmmakers including Basel Adra, Hamdan Ballal Al-Huraini, Rachel Szor, and Yuval Abraham, is now available on MUBI. Shot between 2019 and 2023, the film chronicles the destruction caused by Israeli expansionist policies in the West Bank, focusing on the Masafer Yatta area. It depicts the demolition, displacement, and humiliation of Palestinian farming communities, contextualized within Netanyahu's settlement ambitions and supported by former US President Donald Trump's proposal to transfer Palestinians to neighboring Arab countries. The film has won multiple awards, including Best Documentary at the Berlin Film Festival, an Oscar, and Best European Documentary at the European Film Awards. Despite these accolades, it initially had limited distribution. The article frames viewing the film as a necessary act for understanding the conflict without mediation.
