    I can’t believe after what happened with Ballal and Yatta the movie didn’t gain major ground to have a distributor in the US, but I really shouldn’t be that surprised…

        Ballal, who is one of the filmmakers and won an Oscar for it, was attack by settlers and then detained by IOF in Masafer Yatta where they filmed and is just a hotbed of settler bullshit that the documentary set out to expose. You would think “Oscar winning filmmaker beaten by settlers and detained” would have some effect, but nah… just worked to try and silence the realities even more.
