The Wagner/Cuban Company’s Magnolia Pictures has acquired the U.S. distribution rights to “No Place on Earth,” a Holocaust documentary by former “60 minutes” producer Janet Tobias, the production company announced Thursday.
The film, which was produced by History Pictures and debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival on Monday, explores the lives of 38 Ukrainian Jews who survived World War II by living in caves for 18 months.
