‘No Other Land’ Filmmakers Cut Short U.S. Trip, Head Home To West Bank And Israel As Middle East Violence Explodes
'No Other Land' filmmakers are cutting short their U.S. tour with the documentary, returning to West Bank and Israel amid exploding regional violence.
Adra, a Palestinian from the West Bank community of Masafer Yatta, and Abraham, a Jewish Israeli from the city of Be’er Sheva in Southern Israel, participated in a Q&A at the New York Film Festival last Sunday.

In a statement signed by Adra, Abraham, and Szor announcing their decision to shorten their U.S. trip, the filmmakers described No Other Land as “both a document of a war crime happening now in the occupied West Bank, and a plea for a different future, one without occupation and oppression, one which is based on empathy, respect for international law, and true security and equality between Palestinians and Israelis.
