DESCRIPTION:FILM SERIES: No Other Land, Best Documentary, Oscars 2025\n\nOn March 2, 
 the documentary film No Other Land won Best Documentary at the 2025 
 Oscars.\n\nWe are showing this film because it brings to life in a gripping 
 and unflinching way what is largely censored in the US: the violent, 
 escalating attacks and land grabs by Israeli settlers against Palestinians 
 in the occupied West Bank. \n\nThe US is the principal backer and 
 imperialist sponsor of the Israeli genocide against the Palestinian people, 
 and this is now even more vicious with Trump. Despite winning an Oscar, no 
 US distributor has picked up this film - keeping the true horror of what is 
 taking place in Palestine covered up inside this country.\n\nOn March 24, a 
 mob of masked Israeli settlers, armed with batons, knives and assault 
 rifles, along with Israeli soldiers, carried out a vicious attack against 
 Hamdan Ballal, one of the film's co-directors. Ballal screamed, “I’m 
 dying,” as he was being ruthlessly beaten and bleeding badly, as Israeli 
 soldiers stood by. “It was a revenge for our movie,” he said. The film 
 focused on the very area the attack on him took place in—the village of 
 Susya in the Masafer Yatta region where he lives.\n\nOdeh Hathalin, aka 
 Awdah Hathaleen, a Palestinian activist who was a consultant on No Other 
 Land, was recently shot and killed by an Israeli settler in the occupied 
 West Bank.\n\nWatch the trailer.

 this event will go to support the communities of Masafer Yatta, where the 
 documentary was filmed. They are still under attack and the daily violence 
 against the people continues.\n\n
