River Oaks Theatre will screen "No Other Land"

• The River Oaks Theatre, renovated and reopened last fall, is among the venues screening it independently.

Context: Created by a group of Palestinian and Israeli filmmakers, "No Other Land" chronicles the bulldozed homes and demolition of Masafer Yatta.

• The documentary largely follows one of the filmmakers, Basel Adra, as he resists forced displacement.

Friction point: The film has faced criticism from Israeli officials, with Culture Minister Miki Zohar labeling it anti-Israeli.

• Meanwhile, some movie critics argue ​​the lack of distributors is ironic and that the film is being avoided for exposing harrowing and uncomfortable truths to Americans.

The bottom line: Houstonians now have the opportunity to view and form their own thoughts on "No Other Land."

• Tickets are $15. Daily screenings from March 14–26.
