He documents the devastation of villages in his region, where Israeli soldiers gradually demolish homes and drive out residents. At one point, he meets Yuval, an Israeli journalist, and an unlikely friendship develops between them. Although Yuval supports Basel in his efforts, their bond is strained by the vast inequality: Basel lives under military occupation, while Yuval lives free and unrestricted. No Other Land, made by a Palestinian-Israeli collective consisting of Basel Adra, Yuval Abraham, Hamdan Ballal & Rachel Szor, functions as an act of creative resistance and seeks justice in the ongoing conflict. The documentary had its world premiere earlier this year at the Berlin Film Festival where it won the Panorama Dokumente Audience Award and the Berlinale Documentary Award. Since then, the film has been shown at several international festivals and has received many awards.
