PROGRAM
The Duke Human Rights Center at the Franklin Humanities Institute and the Rights! Camera! Action! Film Series presents "No Other Land."
Basel Adra, a young Palestinian activist from Masafer Yatta on the West Bank, has been fighting the mass expulsion of his community by Israel's occupation since childhood. He documents the slow-motion eradication of the villages in his home region where soldiers deployed by the Israeli government are gradually demolishing houses and driving out their residents. Eventually, he meets Yuval, an Israeli journalist, who supports him in his efforts. An unlikely alliance develops. However the relationship between the two is strained by the enormous inequality between them: Basel lives under military occupation while Yuval lives freely and without restrictions. This film by a Palestinian-Israeli collective of four young activists has been made as an act of creative resistance on the path to greater justice.
