Shot at night on the rooftops of Tel Aviv, the film reveals in detail the systems behind Israel’s calculated mass killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza.Directors’ statement
We made this film out of a sense of obligation to use our position as Israelis to examine the systems behind the mass killing of Palestinian civilians for which our country is responsible. While filming over the past three years, we found ourselves asking the very questions that were asked by our grandparents’ generation and throughout the 20th century: how does one group of people allow the total dehumanisation of another? What do the inner workings of such a system look like?
Many of the revelations in the film were published almost immediately as we learned of them, in the months following the October 7th attacks, by The Guardian (one of NAZA’s producers), in collaboration with reporting partners +972 Magazine and Local Call. The film lets us explore something deeper than we could in our investigative journalism alone: not only the words being said but also those that are not said, the silence. It is up to all of us to break that silence.

Under nattliga möten på Tel Avivs hustak samtalar filmskaparna bakom No Other Land med israeliska militärer om kriget i Gaza och om den israeliska militärens agerande mot palestinska civila.
Regissörerna Rachel Szor och Yuval Abraham beskriver filmen som ett försök att, utifrån sin position som israeler, undersöka de strukturer och mekanismer som enligt dem möjliggör omfattande civilt lidande. Under arbetet återkommer de till frågor om avhumanisering, ansvar och hur människor förhåller sig till våld som sker i deras namn.
Flera av de uppgifter som behandlas i filmen publicerades under månaderna efter attackerna den 7 oktober genom journalistiska granskningar av bland andra The Guardian, +972 Magazine och Local Call. Med filmen vill Szor och Abraham gå vidare från den löpande nyhetsrapporteringen och även undersöka det som inte sägs – tystnaden, tvekan och de personliga perspektiven bakom händelserna.
