Oscar-winning doc 'No Other Land' has found MENA distribution via Front Row, whose chief says: 'We have a duty to make sure it reaches audiences.'

Front Row Filmed Entertainment has acquired Middle East and North African rights for Oscar-winning documentary No Other Land, by Palestinian activist Basel Adra and Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham.

The film's win at the Oscars this year marks the first time a documentary has won an Academy Award without a distribution company attached.

The film tells the story of Palestinian activists fighting to protect their communities from demolition by the Israeli military.

The 2025 Academy Award for Documentary Feature Film was handed over to No Other Land, a political record keeping — and personal account — of the occupation and destruction of the West Bank village Masafer Yatta by Israeli Occupation Forces.

A prominent Palestinian rights group has criticized the Palestinian-Israeli film for allegedly violating terms of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign opposing cooperation with Israeli companies operating in the occupied West Bank.
