Oscar-Winning Documentary 'No Other Land' Highlights Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

The groundbreaking film, co-directed by Israeli and Palestinian filmmakers, faces distribution challenges in the U.S. due to its politically sensitive subject matter.

'No Other Land' won the 2025 Oscar for Best Documentary Feature, marking the first Oscar win for Palestinian filmmakers.
The film explores life in Masafer Yatta, a Palestinian community in the occupied West Bank, through the eyes of Palestinian activist Basel Adra and Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham.
During their acceptance speech, the filmmakers called for global action to address the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and criticized U.S. foreign policy for hindering peace efforts.
Despite critical acclaim and over 45 awards, the documentary has struggled to secure widespread distribution in the U.S., with screenings limited to independent theaters.
The filmmakers are self-distributing the film in the U.S., with over 80 theaters showing it this weekend and box office earnings surpassing $600,000.
