Keshet International (KI) will be preselling new factual titles from Perpetual Entertainment and SF Factual at this month’s London TV Screenings.
The three projects were pitched as part of KI’s Greenlight: Factual and Formats commissioning initiative. How Did They Walk Away from That?, from Perpetual Entertainment, explores how individuals survived infamous disasters. Scandalous, also from Perpetual Entertainment, digs into celeb scandals. For SF Factual, KI is launching Looted, fronted by historian Alice Roberts.
Kelly Wright, managing director of distribution at KI, said, “These three new series reflect the kind of bold, distinctive projects KI’s bringing to the international market via our burgeoning presale slate. We’re introducing these titles to selected clients at Realscreen this week, and then officially to a wider audience at our Unscripted Showcase on Tuesday, 24 February as part of the London TV Screenings.”
Brendan Dahill, GM and EP at Perpetual Entertainment, said, “Having already partnered with Keshet International on Hitler’s Treasure Hunters, we are delighted to be working with them again on these two exciting new projects which showcase our approach to factual storytelling—producing contributor-rich shows that resonate with global audiences.”
Amanda Groom, EP of SF Factual’s Looted, added, “In Looted, Alice Roberts takes us on a true crime adventure into the heart of the conflict about cultural artefacts being returned to those communities and nations from whom they were stolen. Looted is a global odyssey of historical intrigue and criminal investigation, capturing the clamour for justice behind the stories reaching our news headlines almost daily.”
Two series have already come out of the Greenlight: Factual & Formats commissioning initiative: Perpetual Entertainment’s Hitler’s Treasure Hunters and Woodcut Media’s Catch Me If You Can.
