Hi! We're the creators of No Other Land, the Oscar-winning film about the communities of Masafer Yatta that are being forcibly displaced by the Israeli army and settlers. We made No Other Land to create actual change on the ground. Now, we need your help to achieve it. No Other Land isn’t just a film — it’s our lives. Join us to fight to save Masafer Yatta and help us build a network of 50,000 supporters standing in solidarity with Masafer Yatta.
Masafer Yatta is still being erased and the daily violence continues. Hamdan Ballal, co-director of the film, was recently brutally assaulted by settlers. Similar settler pogroms have been carried out in other villages, alongside the constant presence of Israeli soldiers and threat of home demolitions.
Basel Adra, co-director of the film, has a vision to establish a center to support community resilience and empowerment. At the core of this initiative will be youth education programs that support the next generation of storytellers and ambassadors of the region. The center will also support women’s empowerment efforts, food sovereignty projects, and psychological support for the communities. Donate below to be a part of making this vision a reality. We are grateful for your support and excited to update you as we launch this effort.
Your support will also go toward the many emergency and immediate needs that arise everyday from state-settler violence. From a bail fund for the many arbitrary arrests carried out daily, medical expenses incurred after attacks, and costs to repair or replace damaged or stolen property, there are many immediate needs that your support will help respond to. These funds will be distributed in coordination with a committee of Palestinian community leaders in Masafer Yatta.

The Masafer Yatta / South Hebron Hills region is known for its resilience and resistance to Israeli efforts to ethnically cleanse Palestinians from the area.
It is also known for the ferocity of attacks and pressure put on the communities to force them to leave their homes: settler violence, home demolitions, restrictions on movement, arrests, prevention of access to resources, and expanding land takeovers and seizures.
As the name of our community gets more recognition, we need your support to uplift and strengthen our long-term resilience by launching a center for community advancement and support. At the core of this initiative will be youth education programs that support the next generation of storytellers and ambassadors of the region.
A portion of funds raised will also go toward emergency needs in the region that will directly respond to daily violent incidents and harassment. Examples of emergency needs include a bail fund for the many arbitrary arrests carried out daily, medical expenses incurred after attacks, and costs to repair or replace damaged or stolen property.
Thank you for your support.
