People among rubble; a still image from "No Other Land."

A still from "No Other Land."

The 2024 film No Other Land has been internationally acclaimed — and even won the 2025 Best Documentary Feature Academy Award — but it has been difficult to see it in the U.S., as distributors have shied away from the film's controversial subject matter. The documentary is a collaboration by Palestinians Basel Adra and Hamdan Ballal and Israelis Rachel Szor and Yuval Abraham, who document the lives (and deaths) of Palestinians in the West Bank community of Masafer Yatta, an area subject to Israeli occupation for many years. These screenings hosted by the Madison Anti-War Film Series and partners are free, but tickets are required at bartelltheatre.org; donations will be collected for Masafer Yatta. Another screening is set for June 8 at Christ Presbyterian Church; reserve a seat here.

About the film:

For half a decade, Basel Adra, a Palestinian activist, films his community of Masafer Yatta being destroyed by Israel's occupation, as he builds an unlikely alliance with an Israeli journalist who wants to join his fight. No Other Land is an unflinching account of a community's mass expulsion and acts as a creative resistance to Apartheid and a search for a path towards equality and justice.

★★★★★ "Powerful Israel-Palestine documentary is essential viewing" - The Guardian
