The violence of the Israeli occupation of the West Bank gives no respite to Basel Adra (At-Tuwani, 1996), not even during a brief stay in Madrid. On the same day he is participating in the inauguration of an international summit on the cultural reconstruction of Palestine, co-organized by the Spanish and Palestinian Ministries of Culture, the multi-award-winning director of the documentary No other land wakes up to the news of a "brutal attack" by Israeli settlers on a village adjacent to his own. Before speaking to ARA in a hotel in the center of the Spanish capital, Adra contemplates on his mobile phone images he has received from injured neighbors. "In March, settlers already shot at two brothers from this same family. One of them, 28 years old, was murdered, and the other has been left paralyzed," he explains. This is the daily reality in Masafer Yatta, a Palestinian community in the southern West Bank that has been fighting for years against Israel's plans to eliminate the cluster of small villages that make it up. Its story of resistance became famous following Adra's film, winner of an Oscar in 2025, which has also turned him into an international voice for the Palestinian cause. "The documentary had a great impact worldwide, but it is very difficult for us because on the ground the situation keeps getting worse," he reflects, visibly tired both of this role, which so far has not provided solutions for his people, and of the "inhumane" journey required to leave the territory occupied by Israel and to live under the constant harassment of settlers and the Israeli army.
