Kapanlagi.com - The development of documentary filmmaking increasingly demonstrates its power in opening the world's eyes to various humanitarian issues. One of the films that managed to capture attention at the 2025 Oscars is NO OTHER LAND, a documentary that presents a true story about the conflict in Palestine. This film not only won the highest award but also sparked global debate.
As a result of collaboration between Palestinian and Israeli filmmakers, NO OTHER LAND provides a unique perspective on the suffering of the Palestinian people. Through the lens of activist Basel Adra and Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham, this film reveals the bitter reality that is rarely seen in mainstream media. The documentation of Adra's hometown being destroyed by Israeli soldiers serves as concrete evidence of how this conflict directly impacts the lives of the community.
The winner of Best Documentary Feature at the 2025 Oscars successfully stirred emotions and public awareness. However, behind the accolades, there are many interesting facts that make this film so influential. Here are the facts behind the success of NO OTHER LAND.

No Other Land does not merely present opinions or political narratives, but offers real recordings of the conflict occurring in Palestine. Basel Adra, a Palestinian activist, personally documents the destruction of his hometown in the West Bank. The Israeli army destroys schools, flattens houses, and even fills wells with cement to prevent residents from surviving.
In this film, Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham participates in the struggle. However, he faces his own challenges, as some Palestinians view him as an outsider with privileged rights as an Israeli citizen. This difference in perspective is what makes this film so complex and emotional.

The collaboration between Basel Adra and Yuval Abraham is one of the strongest elements in NO OTHER LAND. They come from two very different backgrounds; Adra is a Palestinian who has directly experienced the impact of the conflict, while Abraham is an Israeli who has the freedom of movement.
However, these differences actually become the main strength of the film. They unite opposing viewpoints in one strong and touching narrative. Both show that despite political and social boundaries, there is still room for empathy and understanding between humans.

This film uses a lot of original footage taken directly by Basel Adra. In this documentation, it is clear how Israeli soldiers bulldoze school buildings, destroy homes, and evict local residents.
Not only that, the film also highlights how Adra himself faces great risks in recording these events. He has to deal with the threat of arrest, movement restrictions, and pressure from various parties. These recordings are what make the film feel so real and moving.

In addition to depicting the suffering of the Palestinian people, NO OTHER LAND also provides sharp criticism of Israeli policies. The film highlights how the Israeli government continues to carry out evictions and the destruction of Palestinian settlements in the West Bank.
Moreover, the film indirectly criticizes U.S. support for Israeli policies. In various scenes, it is depicted how the military policies imposed by Israel on Palestine receive backing from several major countries, which often makes the Palestinian people increasingly powerless.
After winning Best Documentary Feature at the 2025 Oscars, No Other Land immediately became the center of global attention. Many global media outlets highlighted the content of this film as a real reflection of the prolonged conflict in Palestine.
This film also received mixed reactions. Some parties fully support the humanitarian message it conveys, while others consider it to be political propaganda. Despite the controversy, it cannot be denied that NO OTHER LAND has successfully opened up a broad discussion about Palestine on a global level.
