Catalan pubcaster 3Cat is among a raft of global buyers which have acquired Vietnam War draft resistance documentary, The Boys Who Said No.

It has also been snapped up by Hearst Networks in Germany for the History channel, Canal+ Group for Planète in France, American Public Television and Asharq News for MENA.

The sales were announced by UK indie factual distributor Espresso Media, which also revealed further acquisitions.

Canal+ Group has taken historical doc Resistance: They Fought Back (1×96′) for its channel Planète; as well as History’s Greatest Aircrafts (6×45′) and true crime title Where is Baby Gabriel (3×45′).

David Hopper, MD, Espresso, said: “We are proud to see that some very important platforms, both in Europe and the US, have picked up Insight’s unique anti-war doc marking the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War, especially given we are in such troublesome times now.
