Mediawan has added two high-quality documentaries to its premium slate, including “Sobibor – Escape from History,” a four-part documentary about a group of Jewish prisoners who escaped from the Sobibor death camp during World War II. The documentary follows their struggle to rebuild their lives and the trauma their children continue to endure. Mediawan has also added “Nuclear Now,” a documentary exploring the nuclear industry in France, Russia, and the U.S. and how nuclear power can help overcome climate change and energy poverty. Mediawan has partnered with Participant to sell “Nuclear Now” outside of North America. Mediawan Rights is selling Cyril Leuthy’s documentary biopic of the French New Wave icon, Godard Cinema, under its new division dedicated to library documentary titles. The documentary has sold to several countries since premiering at Venice Classics last year, including the UK, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Czech Republic, Finland, Taiwan, and Japan.
Mediawan, a prominent production company, has added two high-quality documentaries to its slate of premium documentaries. The first documentary, “Sobibor – Escape from History,” is a four-part documentary developed by the leading Dutch banner, Submarine. The documentary tells the story of a group of Jewish prisoners who managed to escape from the Sobibor death camp, one of the most gruesome Nazi extermination camps during World War II, and their struggle to rebuild their lives. The story is told through the eyes of the survivors and rebels, and their children, who still struggle with the trauma of their parents to this day. Two surviving relatives also return to Poland to visit their ancestral villages where their relatives were banished.
The documentary is an important story of human resistance during the Holocaust and is still relevant today. The Russian propaganda machine has recently used the story of Sobibor to support its invasion into Ukraine. Submarine’s previous high-profile titles include “Bellingcat: Truth in a Post-Truth World,” which won an Emmy Award and was about the rise of the first-ever citizen-journalist collective. They also produced “Last Hijack,” which won an Emmy Award, and “American Jail for CNN and the BBC,” directed by Oscar-winning director Roger Ross Williams.
The second documentary added to Mediawan’s slate is “Nuclear Now,” a documentary that premiered at the Venice Film Festival and was recently acquired by Abramorama and Giant Pictures for North American distribution. The documentary, penned by Oliver Stone and Joshua S. Goldstein, is based on the book “A Bright Future” and explores the nuclear industry in France, Russia, and the U.S. The documentary aims to show how nuclear power can help the global community overcome the challenges of climate change and energy poverty. The production was produced in collaboration with Think-Film Production, and an impact campaign was launched to bring together institutions and organizations to combat the climate crisis.
Mediawan Rights has partnered with Participant to sell “Nuclear Now” outside of North America. Participant and Think-Film Impact Production previously collaborated on the European impact campaign for “Dark Waters.” With the addition of “Sobibor – Escape from History” and “Nuclear Now” to its premium documentary slate, Mediawan continues to ramp up its documentary production to provide high-quality documentaries that captivate audiences and offer important insights into important issues of our time.
Mediawan Rights, a prominent production company, has scored numerous sales on Cyril Leuthy’s documentary biopic of the French New Wave icon, Godard Cinema. The documentary, produced by 10.7 Productions in France, portrays Jean-Luc Godard, who directed over 140 films but remained a mysterious figure throughout his life. Mediawan’s new division dedicated to library documentary titles is selling the film. The documentary has sold to several countries since premiering at Venice Classics last year, including the UK, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Czech Republic, Finland, Taiwan, and Japan. Mediawan is in negotiations to close more territories. The film aims to take viewers beyond the clichés of Godard and portrays a man who is more sentimental than he appears, someone who is often surpassed by his art.
