PFF: No Other Land

A multi-award winning and eye-opening piece of documentary activism that follows a Palestinian community’s forced expulsion from their homes through the eyes of a West Bank lawyer and activist and his friend, an Israeli journalist.

Whilst acting as a record of the Israeli military’s twenty-two-year perpetual encroachment, land seizure and forced displacement of a group of villages near Hebron collectively named Masafer Yatta, the film also poignantly depicts the stark inequalities between friends Basel Adra, living under military occupation and Yuval Abraham, with complete freedom of movement and full Israeli citizenship rights.

Using hand-held cameras and archival footage, the film captures the interplay of despair and determination felt over time from these vastly different lived contexts.

Premiering in February of this year, it is one of the first released whose filming was impacted by the Qassam Brigades attack on Southern Israel in October 2023 and Israel’s ongoing brutal and harrowing retaliation. It thus provides insight into the emboldening of Israeli settlers and military, who have since increased their violent attacks and illegal seizure of land all around the West Bank.

This hauntingly cinematic gut-punch is at once a moving account of a bond formed across conflict lines and a must-watch chronicle of human tenacity amid hostilities.
