You can also call the following numbers to request that the film be hosted:
Netflix: 1-844-505-2993
Hulu: 1-888-265-6650
Apple: 408-996-1010
The film, which has won dozens of prizes since its release last year, was awarded the Oscar for best documentary this month. The film was produced from 2019 to 2023 and comprises mostly personal camcorder footage filmed by Palestinian activist Basel Adra, 28, who documents the Israeli military’s destruction of his hometown, Masafer Yatta in a small, rugged region in the southern occupied West Bank.
In a statement, CAIR National Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper said:
“This documentary reveals the realities of the Israeli occupation and ethnic cleansing that our government has been supporting. Americans should be able to easily access it. We urge Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, and Apple to pursue the right to make ‘No Other Land’ available on their platforms.”
He noted that CAIR has previously called on U.S. film distributors and streaming platforms in the United States to distribute ‘No Other Land.’
