For half a decade, Basel Adra, a Palestinian activist, filmed his community of Masafer Yatta being destroyed by Israel's occupation, as he builds an unlikely alliance with an Israeli journalist who wants to join his fight.

Having documented, since childhood, his community’s mass expulsion by the Israeli occupation since childhood, Basel now crosses paths with Yuval, an Israeli journalist, who joins his struggle. For over half a decade they fight against the expulsion while growing closer. Their complex bond is haunted by the extreme inequality between them: Basel, living under a brutal military occupation, and Yuval, unrestricted and free.

This film, by a Palestinian-Israeli collective of activists, was made during the most terrifying times in the region, as an act of creative resistance to Apartheid and a search for justice.

This screening is followed by a screen talk with the directors Basel Adra and Yuval Abraham.
