    Autentic on Delivering Factual Content with Depth

    Among the genres that are performing particularly well at present for Autentic is people and places, which tackles topics from travel, escapism and adventure to foreign cultures, people and their passions, crime and culinary programming. “Especially escapism and adventure factual content is still high in demand,” says Strasser. “Another well-performing genre is science—be it human, technology or natural science. One of our best-selling titles last year was The Animal Within, an archive-based six-part series combining elements of nature programming with scientific aspects.”

The team was extremely enthusiastic about this new series from the first conversation and, given Cineflix’s impressive track record and extensive international network, I have every confidence that Secret Nazi Expeditions will soon find a raft of excellent homes across the world.”

    Secret Nazi Expeditions is set to begin production soon. It’s Go Button’s second Super Channel Fuse Original commission this year, following the World War Two series Forgotten Frontlines (6 x 60 minutes), co-commissioned by SBS Australia and Off The Fence.

    Classic history content also remains a high priority for international broadcasters, according to Baxter. As a result, the exec has selected Go Button Media’s new series Forgotten Frontlines (6×60’), which launches at the end of the year. “It takes us through the lesser-known stories of the war with insightful tales that give us a better understanding as to how these events impacted the overall efforts of WWII as we know it,” Baxter says.

    ABOUT FORGOTTEN FRONTLINES

    Since the Allied victory, historians have chronicled the heroism and plight of ground troops, navy, and airmen – their wins, losses, and their sacrifices for victory. These stories defined the greatest generation, but it’s not the whole story. From conspiracies to covert ops, some pieces of the narrative seem to have slipped through the cracks of our collective memory. In this series, we fill in the gaps between those well-known and well-documented events. Unearthed research, expert interviews, archive, and CGI will bring to life the war efforts you’ve never heard of to reveal the truth behind WWII’s forgotten frontlines.
