For half a decade, Basel Adra, a Palestinian activist, filmed his community of Masafer Yatta being destroyed by Israel's occupation, as he built an unlikely alliance with an Israeli journalist who sought to join his fight. The resulting film, No Other Land, earned Best Documentary Feature Film at the 2025 Academy Awards. It is an unflinching account of a community's mass expulsion and acts as a creative resistance to apartheid and a search for a path towards equality and justice. Followed by a panel discussion with Sawsan Abubaker and Eli Newell.
