No Other Land to screen in Aireys Inlet

A GROUP of Aireys Inlet residents will present a community screening of an Oscar winning documentary later this month.

No Other Land was directed by a Palestinian-Israeli filmmaking collective, tracking the occupation and destruction of Masafer Yatta, a mountainous region in the Occupied West Bank.

The story is told through the friendship between a young Palestinian activist and lawyer from Masafer Yatta, and an Israeli investigative journalist.

 

Palestinian activist and lawyer, Basel Adra, has been fighting his community’s mass expulsion, the largest single act of forced displacement ever carried out in the West Bank by the Israeli occupation.

Palestinian villages were destroyed and 1,800 people evicted for the Israeli military to use the land for tank training exercises, triggering worldwide condemnation.

This is considered a breach of international humanitarian and human rights law by many and, according to United Nationals human rights experts, may amount to war crime.

 

The United Nations General Assembly voted overwhelmingly in September 2024 to adopt a resolution demanding Israel “brings to an end without delay its unlawful presence” in the occupied Palestinian Territory.

No Other Land provides viewers with a deep historical context to the Palestinitan experience in the occupied territories of the West Band and Gaza for the decades leading up to the current assault and dehumanising blockage of Gaza.

The film will screen at the Aireys Inlet Community Hall from 7pm on June 21. Tickets are $10 each.
