The power of No Other Land is often in just how much it is a series of shots captured by those in the story. Instead of feeling like a film maker came in to a situation to capture it, instead No Other Land is filmed by the man in the middle, often just capturing the images as they happen. He is joined by an unlikely ally who struggles to find a way to effectively show that allyship, but in doing this together they succeed in bringing their story to an outside world reluctant to hear it.
Be prepared, No Other Land is and deeply upsetting film. This is about bearing witness and even that act isn't easy. There is real world violence documented here, violence against people and property. Once you see it you won't be able to look away. No wonder this film has captured the attention of a world that has turned away so often before.
