Common Good Forum Presents: "No Other Land", a feature documentary

Join Pine Street Church and Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ) for a screening of the must-watch documentary No Other Land on Friday, April 17th at 7 pm. No Other Land, directed by a four-person collective of Israeli and Palestinian activists, is what they describe as an “act of resistance on the path to justice in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.”

Doors open at 6:30 pm with the screening beginning at 7 pm. Following the film, we will host a talkback to unpack themes from the film.

While entry to the event is free, we encourage a $10 donation to the Bright Stars of Bethlehem scholarship fund.

Bright Stars of Bethlehem raises awareness and support for Dar al-Kalima University, the first and only university for arts, culture, and design in all of Palestine, with a desire to help the people of Palestine flourish and have life in abundance.

This unflinching documentary depicts the harrowing conditions of Palestinian villages living under Israeli occupation and constant violence in Masafer Yatta, a beautiful mountainous region on the Southern edge of the West Bank. For half a decade, Basel Adra, a Palestinian activist, films the destruction and displacement of his community, while forming a complex bond with Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham, exposing the occupation’s human toll.

No Other Land has won many awards, including the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature Film at the 97th Academy Awards in 2025, marking the first Oscar win for a Palestinian film.

Thank you to our sponsors for helping make this event possible: Boulder Arts Commission, Community Foundation Boulder County, Longmont Community Foundation, 1,000 Voices Project, and Brite Collaborative.
