Keshet International has completed further pre-sales on “Surviving 9/11,” Top Hat Productions’ feature-length documentary for the BBC. The BBC had commissioned the film to mark 20 years…
Keshet has finalized license deals with The Seven Network in Australia; Globo in Brazil; CBC in Canada for both the CBC network and its French network Société Radio-Canada; TVNZ in New Zealand; DPG Media in Belgium; RTV in Slovenia; NRK in Norway; Sky Deutschland in Germany; KAN in Israel; AMC Networks International Southern Europe in Spain and Portugal for its Odisea/Odisseia channel; and Rai Documentari in Italy. Hoopla Digital has picked up the library streaming rights in the U.S.
“Surviving 9/11” takes the form of two intertwining narratives: the two-hour period when terrorists hijacked four planes and crashed three of them into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon, and the story of the 20 years since. Blending testimony from American and British interviewees and personal and public archives, the story of the day unfolds almost in real time.
Keren Shahar, Keshet International’s COO and president of distribution, said: “It’s difficult to express just how profoundly moving, empathetic and affecting this film really is. Two decades may have passed, but Arthur has brought a fresh and touching perspective to these tragic events by giving survivors, and the families of those who lost their lives, a platform to share their memories and convey how they are still processing their experiences today.
