At the Oscars, the filmmakers of 'No Other Land' highlighted the plight of Palestinians facing home demolitions in the West Bank during their acceptance speech. They urged global intervention to address Palestinian suffering and free Israeli hostages from the October 7 incidents. Their documentary, difficult to distribute in the U.S., showcases grim realities including demolitions and violence. The film's release coincides with heightened tensions following recent conflicts, illustrating the ongoing struggles within the Israeli-Palestinian context and leaving a significant impact on both audiences and the film industry.
When I look at Basel, I see my brother... we live in a regime where I am free under civilian law and Basel is under military laws.
Our film reflects the harsh reality we have been enduring for decades and still resist, as we call on the world to take serious actions to stop the injustice.
The film is often brutal, featuring disturbing images of razed houses, crying children, bereft mothers and even on-camera shootings.
No distributor would pick up this film in the United States, making it nearly impossible for American filmgoers to see it in theaters.
