No Other Land, a documentary co-directed by Palestinian and Israeli filmmakers, showcases the plight of the Masafer Yatta community facing home demolitions and forced expulsions by Israeli forces. Gaining significant acclaim, the film has received multiple festival awards and an Oscar nomination. Despite its popularity, no American studio has yet picked it up, likely due to political sensitivities. Instead, the directors are pursuing self-distribution, successfully launching the film in 23 U.S. theaters and expanding in response to positive box office performance.
I'm hoping that at a certain point the demand for the film will become so clear and indisputable that there will be a distributor with the kind of courage to take it on and show it to the audience.
The film chronicles the besieged community of Masafer Yatta as Israeli forces demolish homes and expel families, claiming the area is needed for military training.
