Here’s a chance to see a movie that’s up for an Oscar for Best Documentary Feature. “No Other Land” was made by a Palestinian-Israeli collective of four young activists and centers on Palestinian Basel Adra from the Masafer Yatta area of the West Bank. Adra captured the destruction of his community on film and forged an alliance with an Israeli journalist. Despite radically different backgrounds and life circumstances, the two united during the region’s harrowing times.
