Some documentarians settle for breaking your heart. Others struggle to clarify a long-view geopolitical panorama, with a specific subject or conflict as the viewfinder. “No Other Land” achieves both, and more. It does so with deceptive ease under extraordinary duress. And foremost, it’s a riveting and humane experience pulled from the rubble of a never-ending war. Premiering last year, it ended 2024 as the year’s most-awarded nonfiction film, a likely upcoming Oscar winner in the documentary feature category. “No Other Land” is also still without a U.S. distributor, so its producers are self-distributing. The Chicago premiere of this remarkable document,…

Historically, in times of crisis and uncertainty, when injustice intensified and the walls were closing in, audiences could expect Hollywood’s output to rise to the occasion with something to say. You can criticize the results, but at least it felt like someone, somewhere, was compelled to make an effort — and had the backing (begrudging or otherwise) of executives in charge. It’s a different landscape today. Screenwriters and filmmakers may be champing at the bit behind the scenes, but the major media companies that produce the bulk of TV and film seem uninterested in anything that might be construed as…
