No Other Land
First screened in October 2024

---

Directors: Basel Adra, Hamdan Ballal, Rachel Szor, and Yuval Abraham. Documentary about destruction of Palestinian homes in the West Bank by Israeli police and government delegates.

---

In Brief: Surely best version would press further into Basel's and Yuval's toughest exchanges. But these images are important.

VOR: ④  Searing context for current events, though not exactly news. Valuable toward some political ends, however blunt. Artistically limited. Risk high.
