Palestine’s hopes for an Oscar — Best International Feature — ride on this historical drama starring Hiam
Abbas and Jeremy Irons.

Land buys/land grabs, displacement by mass immigration, statehood and the long march towards apartheid and then genocide of an increasingly desperate and militant minority, not just a product of the Balfour Declaration or the Zionist movement that preceded it.

If it gets nominated — a long shot — we’ll find this one in theaters early in 2026.
