In a press release, CAIR Nationwide Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper mentioned:
“Some other documentary this extremely acclaimed would have been picked up by a serious movie firm way back. Within the wake of No Different Land’s Oscar win, the unprecedented censorship of this movie should finish. We name on U.S. movie firms and streaming providers to pursue this Oscar-winning documentary and shortly make it accessible to the American public. Palestinian tales have been ignored amid the far-right Israeli authorities’s marketing campaign of ethnic cleaning carried out with American taxpayer {dollars}. The American folks deserve the appropriate to see this movie.”
The movie, which has received dozens of prizes since its launch final yr, was awarded the Oscar for Greatest Documentary final evening on the 97th Academy Awards in Hollywood, California.
