Basel Adra's documentary chronicles the continued demolition of Masafer Yatta , a collection of villages in the Hebron mountains of the West Bank .

The documentary has already won awards at the Berlin International Film Festival and began a one-week run at Lincoln Center in New York this weekend .

Adra and fellow filmmaker Yuval Abraham say American distributors have been hesitant to pick up the film.

Adra: October 7 is an atrocity, but the world was not paying attention, almost at all, to the violent life that Palestinians are living under for decades before October .

It’s clear that, to anybody who watches our film and looks at the reality of the farmers in Masafer Yatta , living under Israeli military control is not something sustainable.

Adra: We want political change for the situation here. The United States is very much complicit in what we are seeing in our movie. We hope that the film will contribute to that. For a better future for Palestinians and for Israelis , we need change in US foreign policy, Adra says.
