Within a few minutes into the Oscar-nominated documentary, we see Israeli soldiers barging into a village after a court order is given to demolish Palestinian homes in Masafer Yatta of the occupied southern West Bank. A handheld camera captures bulldozers violently tearing down homes while the villagers protest. “We have no other land,” an elderly woman helplessly tells reporters.

The dispossessed Palestinian families are pushed into makeshift rooms inside caves. During the night, a little girl who has just witnessed the horrors of intimidation and violence by Israeli soldiers tosses and turns in her bed, as if swirling. Her mother, tired, trying hard to sleep, feels restless too.

“What are you doing?” she asks.
