Doc Talk Podcast: Latest On ‘No Other Land,’ Plus A New Film On The AUM Cult Behind A Deadly Sarin Gas Attack

'Doc Talk' Podcast: Latest On ‘No Other Land’ Controversy and a new film on the AUM cult behind the deadly 1995 sarin gas attack in Japan.

The audience at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood gave the filmmakers a standing ovation at the Oscar ceremony, but the mayor of Miami Beach, FL, attacked the documentary days later, labeling it antisemitic propaganda, and threatened to evict a cinema located on city-owned land that had programmed the film. On the latest edition of Deadline’s Doc Talk podcast, co-hosts John Ridley and Matt Carey discuss what happened when the Miami Beach City Commission took up the mayor’s resolution to punish the cinema (our conversation was recorded before Ballal’s detention and subsequent release). As the film explores, Asahara and his followers orchestrated a deadly 1995 sarin gas attack on Tokyo’s subway system that was part of a much larger plot to inflict casualties on a massive scale.
