No Other Land, set in the occupied West Bank, was expected to win this category.

The film follows the fight over Masafer Yatta a community of around 20 villages, and the friendship between Palestinian activist and journalist Basel Adra and Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham.

For years, the friends have been filming the destruction of houses, a well and a school by the Israeli army, after a court order declared Basel’s community illegal.

Their film, created over five years, explores their friendship and the differences in their lives. It also includes intimate human moments, like when the mother, who moves into a cave, kisses her daughter and tells her: “You’re my love… Tomorrow will be a new day.”
