Palestinian activist Basel Adra dedicates his life to fighting against occupation of the West Bank.

The young Palestinian activist Basel Adra lives in Masafer Yatta, a centuries-old network of Bedouin villages in the West Bank. His community is the target of an aggressive Israeli eviction campaign, supposedly to make way for a military base. During the day, bulldozers flatten villages, at night desperate residents rebuild their homes.

Working with the Jewish-Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham and two co-directors, Adra started a film collective. From the summer of 2019, they turned their cameras on the soldiers. The jerky hand-held images emphasize how precarious the situation is. Everyday scenes show a friendship blossoming between the two activists. Using old home videos and a voice-over, Adra explains that the oppression afflicting his community has been going on much longer.
