Miami Beach Mayor Backs Down After Threatening Cinema Over 'No Other Land' Screening

The screening of the Oscar-winning documentary No Other Land at O Cinema sparked a major controversy in Miami Beach.

While the mayor cited concerns over public safety and potential division, others argue the film sheds light on an important humanitarian issue.
