“No Other Land follows the story of Palestinian activist Basel Adra as he fights against the Israeli occupation’s ongoing mass expulsion of his community in Masafer Yatta.
This documentary is one of the most awarded films of the year, yet no U.S. studios are distributing it. Since the film’s release, Basel Adra has continued to document increasing settler attacks and home demolitions in Masafer Yatta.
Join us for a screening of this important and de-facto censored documentary. There will be a discussion to follow the film.”
