Kino Lorber’s MHz Choice has secured the exclusive U.S. rights to the French thriller Sambre from Federation International.
The six-episode limited series follows the story of one of France’s most notorious rapists. Commissioned by France 2, it was produced by What’s Up Films and Federation Studios in coproduction with Versus Production.
“After crafting one of the true crime genre’s most defining works with The Staircase, Jean-Xavier De Lestrade has brought his journalistic sensibility and sharp storytelling to another standout with Sambre,” said Lance Schwulst, EVP of content strategy at MHz Choice.
“Sambre matters because it doesn’t look away; it gives voice to women who weren’t heard for far too long, and it does so with the honesty and care this story deserves,” said Monica Levy, co-head of distribution at Federation Studios. “That’s part of why the series has resonated so powerfully with audiences around the world, and we’re thrilled that MHz Choice is now bringing it to viewers here in the U.S.”
