Doc Talk Podcast: ‘No Other Land’ Filmmakers Blast Israel’s Treatment Of Palestinians: “We Need To End Apartheid”
The documentary No Other Land has surged to Oscar frontrunner status after racking up an impressive array of awards.
The IDF claims it needs the land as a training zone, but the filmmakers found a document in Israeli government archives suggesting that was a ruse and the real purpose was to push out Palestinians in favor of Jewish settlers. And they question why much of the international community has endorsed the International Criminal Court’s decision to issue an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin but criticized the court for issuing an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Pod co-hosts John Ridley ( 12 Years a Slave, Shirley) and Matt Carey, Deadline’s documentary editor, also discuss whether the film’s outspoken advocacy for Palestinians could trigger a backlash among some Oscar voters.
