NO OTHER LAND – A community-led film screening and panel discussion
May 3 @ 6:30 pm - 9:30 pm
We are pleased to invite you to a special screening of the Oscar-winning documentary, “No Other Land”, followed by a community-led panel discussion to unpack the film’s powerful themes and explore what they mean in the context of Palestine today.
Date: Saturday, May 3, 2025
Location: Saint Paul University Amphitheatre, 233 Main Street, Ottawa
Doors Open: 6:00 PM
Program Begins: 6:30 PM
Co-hosted by several local Palestinian/solidarity organizations, this event is a chance to learn and reflect on the urgent realities portrayed in the film, and discuss meaningful ways to take action.
No Other Land is a 2024 documentary that offers an intimate and unflinching portrayal of life under Israeli occupation in the West Bank. Directed by Basel Adra (Palestinian), Yuval Abraham (Israeli), Hamdan Ballal, and Rachel Szor, the film chronicles the destruction of Palestinian homes in Masafer Yatta—an area declared a military training zone by Israel.
Through a combination of contemporary footage and archival material, it follows the personal and political journey of Basel Adra, a Palestinian lawyer, and Yuval Abraham, an Israeli journalist, as they document the relentless displacement of Palestinians and the deepening of their unlikely friendship.

No Other Land tells the story of resistance and resilience in the face of brutal Israeli occupation and displacement – a reality that has taken a backseat as Israel commits genocide in Gaza. The film offers a rare, deeply personal look at the struggle for justice in Masafer Yatta — a region in the occupied West Bank targeted by the same ethnic cleansing occurring throughout Palestine.

Following the screening, a moderated panel of community organizers and experts will lead a conversation on the film’s key messages and what they mean for us here in Canada.
Please note: seating is limited, and we expect high interest in this event. Register early to secure your spot! We hope that you’ll join us for what promises to be a moving and thought-provoking evening!
