‘No Other Land’: Documenting displacement and destruction in the West Bank

“We have no other land to go to,” a Palestinian woman responds to Israeli soldiers seeking to displace her community from their village in the West Bank. It’s one of the many moving moments captured in the documentary “No Other Land”, by an Israeli and Palestinian collective of filmmakers: Yuval Abraham, Basel Adra, Hamdan Ballal and Rachel Szor. Yuval and Basel join us in the studio to discuss working together to collect evidence in the village of Masafer Yatta, where Israeli soldiers have destroyed homes, a primary school and the water supply since the zone was declared a military zone by Israeli authorities. Since the film won the Best Documentary Prize at the Berlin International Film Festival, Yuval tells us about the violent threats he’s been subjected to from Israeli and German figures and Basel flags up the position of the international community in the face of the ongoing war in the region.
