Beyond Distribution has picked up two documentaries from Open Door Company, and will debut both Independent America: The Two-Lane Search for Mom and Pop and Cracked, Not Broken next month at MIPCOM.

Beyond, which has offices in the U.S., Australia, the U.K. and Ireland, will distribute both titles worldwide.

"They have a great track record in distributing content that matters," said Open Door president Tom Powers, in a statement. "We look forward to having them build on the success we have had to date in North America."

Independent America, by former NBC foreign correspondents and married couple Hanson Hosein and Heather Hughes, aired recently on Sundance Channel. Cracked, by Toronto filmmaker and Playback photography contributor Paul Perrier, ran recently on HBO.
