No Other Land: Film Screening & Panel Discussion

Note that this is not an SPSC organised event, but is an opportunity for local members and supporters to attend, and add to anything that speakers may contribute in the post-film Q&A.

Screening of multi award-winning documentary with post-screening discussion to mark Refugee Week, which for 2025, has the theme: “Community as a Superpower”.

Showing the destruction of the occupied West Bank’s Masafer Yatta by Israeli soldiers and the alliance between Palestinian activist Basel and Israeli journalist Yuval. Basel documents the gradual erasure of Masafer Yatta, as soldiers destroy the homes of families – the largest single act of forced transfer ever carried out in the occupied West Bank. He crosses paths with Yuval, an Israeli journalist who joins his struggle, and 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 four young activists, was co-created during the darkest, most terrifying times in the region, as an act of creative resistance and a search for a path towards equality and justice.
