Part of #NYFF62 at #BAM and #BAMFilm2024
Directed by #BaselAdra, #HamdanBallal, #YuvalAbraham, #RachelSzor (2024)
"This eye-opening, vérité-style documentary, made by a #Palestinian-#Israeli collective of four directors over the course of five years, provides a harrowing account of the systematic onslaught of destruction experienced by Masafer Yatta, a group of Palestinian villages in the southern West Bank, at the hands of the Israeli military. Headed by Palestinian activist Basel Adra and Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham (also two of the film’s directors), the collective commits itself to filming and protesting the demolitions of homes and schools and the resulting displacement of their inhabitants, which were carried out to make way for Israeli military training ground. In addition to the indelible footage of destruction and expulsion captured by its undaunted witnesses, No Other Land serves as a moving portrait of friendship between Adra and Abraham, who form a philosophical and political alliance despite the drastic differences in their abilities to exist freely in this world. Winner of the Panorama Audience Award for Best Documentary Film at the 2024 Berlinale."

"THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND"
Mastodon Post
This Land Is Your Land
from Naturally by Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings
[Daptone Records]
https://sharonjonesandthedapkings.bandcamp.com/track/this-land-is-your-land
Woody Guthrie really didn't like the song, "God Bless America." So, he wrote verses of his own with at least a working title of "God Bless America for Me."
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California to the New York island
From the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters
God bless America for me
Sharon Jones took verses from that early creation and worked them into "This Land Is Your Land" in its most commonly known form, resulting in this excellent version of the song.
