ABOUT

For as long as he can remember, Basel Adra has been capturing his community’s slow eradication and displacement from Masafer Yatta in the West Bank, Palestine. His camera, always by his side on the frontlines, documents the escalating and evolving forms of aggression over time. The lens captures events, moments in between, and the longitudinal nature of this struggle. It falls to the ground, remains active, and is picked up by an offscreen body—Basel’s—as he runs, the image persists. The lens demands that we impassively bear witness. Yuval, an Israeli activist and journalist, unwaveringly supports Basel and the community, yet the limitations of their relationship, given their disproportionately unequal lived experiences, begin to reveal themselves.
