Uneven Ground

Our house is on fire - Conversation with Ali Awad on Masafer Yatta

This episode was recorded back in December of 2024 and I am sharing it now because there is a lot of (necessary and deserved) buzz around Masafer Yatta and the documentary "No Other Land" which won an Oscar for best documentary of 2024. The documentary was recorded before the October 7th attack, and I believe this conversation highlights the change in the intensity in violence in Masafer Yatta since then. In this conversation, activist and local Masafer Yatta tells his story and that of his village and community.
