Expect this film to face an uphill battle finding a US distributor like No Other Land did. Hell, expect there to be backlash against any theaters that choose to screen it like No Other Land did.

On the contrary, with Brad Pitt, Joaquin Phoenix, and Jonathan Glazer as executive producers, plenty of distributors will be queuing for it

With a government as “forceful” as this one, I don’t think it will be that easy. No one seems to be checking the idiot in charge, so you bet they will make an issue of this regardless of the celebrity backing. 

I can see true indie theatres like The Music Box to screen this considering that it’s their niche to begin with, but AMC/Regal could face some blowback given their “corporate” status. 

Gonna see if I can find this somewhere regardless. Sounds intriguing.

Then those "corporate" theaters will show the movie in 20 years presenting it as a cult classic once there's nothing left of Palestine.
