“Over the past year and a half, I’ve traveled to Palestine and Israel four times, met with the filmmakers of No Other Land, and moderated panels on the film in Jerusalem and Berlin – some alongside its protagonists. More often than not, these discussions were overshadowed by the political firestorm the film ignited in Germany. The message from major officials to the filmmakers was unmistakable: Your perspectives are not welcome here.”

“while No Other Land’s Oscar win was unexpected, its rejection by the U.S. film industry was just as telling. Despite glowing reviews, no American distributor picked it up. Beyond select screenings, the film remains largely inaccessible to U.S. audiences.”
