Oscar-Winning Documentary 'No Other Land' Struggles to Secure U.S. Distribution

The Palestinian-Israeli film highlights forced displacement in the West Bank but faces political hurdles in reaching American audiences.

'No Other Land' won the 2025 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature, earning critical acclaim but lacking a U.S. distributor.
The film, directed by a Palestinian-Israeli collective, documents the Israeli military's displacement of Palestinians in Masafer Yatta from 2019 to 2023.
Directors Yuval Abraham and Basel Adra have criticized U.S. distributors for avoiding the film due to its politically sensitive subject matter.
Despite its success, the film has only been screened in U.S. theaters through independent bookings and remains unavailable on major streaming platforms.
Internationally, 'No Other Land' has secured distribution in 24 countries, including France and the UK, but continues to face backlash from some political figures.
