Comité pour une Paix Juste au Proche-Orient present this year’s Oscar winner for best documentary ‘No other land’. Basel Adra, a young Palestinian activist from Masafer Yatta, has been fighting his community's mass expulsion by the Israeli occupation since childhood. Basel documents the gradual erasure of Masafer Yatta, as soldiers destroy the homes of families – which at that time was the largest single act of forced transfer ever carried out in the occupied West Bank. He crosses paths with Yuval, an Israeli journalist, and for over half a decade they fight against the expulsion while growing closer. This film, by a Palestinian-Israeli collective of four young activists, was co-created as an act of creative resistance to Apartheid and a search for a path towards equality and justice.
