The Israeli-Palestinian documentary 'No Other Land' has been nominated for an Oscar, highlighting the plight of Palestinians in Masafer Yatta facing violent expulsion from settlers. Co-director Basel Adra emphasizes the film's goal is to connect emotionally with viewers and convey the harsh realities faced in this West Bank community. Despite its acclaim, it currently lacks a U.S. distributor. Amid ongoing violence and displacement, Israeli plans to build new settlements have drawn international condemnation, further complicating the peace process in the region.
"We want people to see the reality, to see what's going on in my community Masafer Yatta but [also] in all the West Bank."
The Netanyahu government is trying, quote, 'to establish facts on the ground that will destroy the chance for peace and compromise.'
Since the film's nomination was announced in January, that violence has continued, with co-director Basel Adra sharing video on social media of settlers rampaging through the village under the protection of Israeli soldiers.
The Israeli settlements are illegal under international law.
