Mikey Madison is now the first Ghostface to win an #Oscar

No Other Land has won this year's Oscar for best documentary. This is a big deal. Despite being worthy of an Oscar, the film has NOT been able to find distribution in the US because it's about the forced displacement of Palestinians from their homes by Israel.
