"When I started filming, the destruction of our villages also began." A personal testimony of the barbaric destruction of Palestine. Basel Adra, a young activist from the village of Misafer Yata in occupied Palestine, has been fighting since childhood against the mass eviction of his community from his homeland by the Israeli occupiers. Basel documents how soldiers destroy the homes of entire families in the largest forced eviction in the West Bank. His paths cross with Israeli journalist Yuval, and they fight together for more than five years. Their complex relationship is greatly challenged by inequality: Basel lives under brutal military occupation, while Yuval lives the privileged life of an Israeli. This film is their joint testimony, creative resistance to apartheid and, at the same time, their search for justice and equality. The session will be accompanied by a conversation.

A testimony to the brutal destruction of Palestine. Basel Adra, a young Palestinian activist from Masafer Yatta, has been fighting his community's mass expulsion by the Israeli occupation since childhood. Basel documents the gradual erasure, 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 was co-created during the darkest, most terrifying times in the region, as an act of creative resistance to Apartheid and a search for a path towards equality and justice.
