Many people are aware of the new Palestinian film No Other Land, which recently won the academy award for best documentary. The film has, understandably and rightly so, garnered much interest and attention, even as it has failed to find a distributer in the United States. Issa Amro, a Palestinian peace activist, has pointed to the success of the film as an indicator that the tide of public opinion is turning towards more popular support for Palestine.

Yet, No Other Land is only one of many documentaries to be released in recent weeks and months, and for those wanting to educate themselves and delve more deeply into Palestinian solidarity work, there are several other must-see films out there. These films can be difficult to access, so we've done the work for you to let you know which films to watch and how to find them. We hope you will take the time to watch one or more of the films below:
