Before MIPCOM kicks off in Cannes next Monday (October 17), Realscreen is presenting an all-week round-up of new non-fiction and unscripted titles that distributors will present at the French Riviera.
Deadly Science spotlights inventors, scientists and explorers throughout history who put their own lives on the line to advance human knowledge and achievement, and in some cases paid the ultimate price. Using archive, CGI, historical reenactments and expert interviews, the series profiles such “martyrs of the mind” as the 16th-century Spanish physician Michael Servetus, mountaineer George Mallory, physicist Marie Curie and ape researcher Dian Fossey.
Go Button Media and Autentic are production partners on the series, which is available in both German and English. Pre-sales have already been made to Curiosity, Superchannel and Spiegel Geschichte.
