The young Palestinian activist Basel Adra lives in Masafer Yatta, a centuries-old network of Bedouin villages in the West Bank. His community is the target of an aggressive Israeli eviction campaign. During the day, bulldozers flatten villages, at night desperate residents rebuild their homes. Working with the Jewish-Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham and two co-directors, Adra started a film collective. From the summer of 2019, they turned their hand-held cameras on the soldiers. Old home videos and a voice-over, illustrate that the oppression has been going on much longer. Although the documentary was finished in October 2023, the directors end with disturbing images of Masafer Yatta following the war on Gaza. It makes this urgent film—awarded the Berlinale Best Documentary Prize and winner of many audience awards—both a history lesson and a tragic prologue.
