‘No Other Land’ Press Tour of West Bank Village Featured in Oscar-Winning Doc Halted by Israeli Army
The Israeli army has blocked journalists from visiting the village featured in Palestinian Oscar winner 'No Other Land' amid escalating violence.
Israeli soldiers on Monday blocked an international media tour organized by “ No Other Land ” directors Basel Adra and Yuval Abraham in the occupied West Bank, preventing journalists from entering the village featured in their Oscar-winning doc. The directors had invited a dozen local and international journalists to visit and witness reportedly worsening violence by Israeli settlers and demolitions at Adra’s home village of At-Tuwani. In March, only a few weeks after “No Other Land” won the best documentary Oscar, Hamdan Ballal, a co-director on the doc along with Adra, Abraham and Rachel Szor, was attacked and heavily beaten by Israeli settlers near his village and then arrested and held overnight in an army facility.
