‘The UK should know what their government is supporting’: the Israeli and Palestinian film-makers shining a light on West Bank violence

No Other Land has won its directors awards – but also forced them to leave their families facing the dangers depicted

The Palestinian and Israeli makers of an award-winning film about land confiscation and oppression on the West Bank were just embarking on an extensive US tour this month when the escalating violence of their homeland reached out and dragged them back.

In Masafer Yatta, the cluster of embattled Palestinian hamlets in the South Hebron hills, which is the focus of the documentary No Other Land, settler violence against the local villagers escalated sharply, while the bombing of Gaza stepped up, killing about 80 Palestinians.
