No Man's Land
Contested buffer zone
No Man's Land appears as a title—for films, books, plays, and other works—or as a proper place name for specific locations.
Several geographic features bear this name, including areas in various U.S. states and internationally.
We watched No Man's Land, the Bosnian war film. (Lowercase no man's land is the common noun referring to contested or unclaimed territory.)
