Best Documentary Feature Film No Other Land (2024) by Basel Adra, Hamdan Ballal, Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor
A young Palestinian activist named Basel Adra has been resisting the forced displacement of his people by Israel s military in Masafer Yatta, a region in the occupied West Bank, since he was a child. He records the gradual destruction of his homeland, where Israeli soldiers are tearing down homes and evicting their inhabitants in order to enforce a court order maintaining that the area designation as an Israeli military firing zone was legal under Israeli law. He befriends Yuval, a Jewish Israeli journalist who helps him in his struggle. They form an unexpected bond, but their friendship is challenged by the huge gap between their living conditions: Basel faces constant oppression and violence, while Yuval enjoys freedom and security.
