Critics Consensus

An elegantly assembled diary of the Palestinian experience, No Other Land is a harrowing document that leaves traces of hope for a better future.

Filmed by media activists from both Israel and Palestine, this eloquent documentary captures the reality of a land struggle between resident Palestinians and the occupying Israeli forces seeking their expulsion.

A self-reflexive film on the besieged homeland, in which the personal is the political, No Other Land is a vital, urgent documentation of the human toll of conflict and a searing critique of war crimes and violence, state atrocities and authoritarianism.

The filmmakers have crafted a powerful censure, in which the images speak for themselves: an excavator advancing on the horizon, a child playing among the rubble, a mother leading her family. [Full review in Spanish]

While the urgency of Adra, Abraham, Ballal and Szor's film is inherent, thrumming from start to finish, so too is the thought and care that's gone into its construction ... truly unforgettable cinema.

Through its ideas, images, and tensions, this film becomes not only difficult to watch, but also impossible to ignore, especially today, when genocide has reached unbearable levels. [Full review in Spanish]

In my travels to the Holy Land, this brutal taking over of the Palestinian's land was always described to me. Seeing it actually happen is eye opening. What human beings can do to others while claiming it is "the law" is barbaric. Others have also said they were doing things because it was the law. It is clear, we have not learned anything from history. So sad for them.

Very powerful story that grips you from the first minute onward. Nice / touching moments of humanity between the two main characters Basel (Palestinian Muslim) and Yuval (Israeli Jew) — makes one realize that the world would be such a better place if we all just recognized the goodness and humanity in each other. Truly humbled to see the resilience of the Palestinians living day to day in such inhumane conditions but somehow finding the will to survive against all odds. A Must See!!!
