This week, Izzy and Murtada interview Palestinian activist Basel Adra and Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham whose documentary, No Other Land, won the Panorama Audience Award for Best Documentary Film at the 2024 Berlinale Film Festival. The film captures the reality of life in Masafer Yatta, a small group of villages in the West Bank subject to the laws of the apartheid state of Israel. The film is an urgent call to action anchored by astounding footage captured on the ground by these genuine friends who are unequal citizens.
