'No Other Land' co-director Yuvan Abraham criticizes the US Academy for not supporting his colleague, Hamdan Ballal, after he was beaten by Israeli settlers and detained by Israeli soldiers in the West Bank. Abraham expressed disappointment with the Academy for refusing to publicly acknowledge the issue and support Ballal, stating that they felt it was unrelated to the film 'No Other Land'. He called on the Academy to issue a statement condemning the attack. The alleged attack occurred just three weeks after the documentary won an Academy Award.
