The Israeli and Palestinian filmmakers behind "No Other Land" delivered their best documentary feature acceptance speech together, starting with Basel Adra.
“No Other Land reflects the harsh reality that we have been enduring for decades and still persists as we call for the world to take serious actions to stop the injustice, and stop the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people,” he said.
Co-director Yuval Abraham continued: “We made this film, Palestinians and Israelis, because together, our voices are stronger. We see each other, the atrocious destruction of Gaza and its people that must end. The Israeli hostages taken on October 7 that must be freed. We live in a regime where I am free under civilian law, and he is under military law… As I am here, the foreign policy in this country is helping to block this path. Why? Can't you see that we are intertwined? That my people can't be truly safe if his people aren't truly safe and free? It's not too late for life and the living. There is no other way.”
