Red Arrow Studios International is bringing to Cannes a slate with new titles across scripted, formats and factual, including the thriller Dignity.

Produced by the Chilean production company Invercine & Wood and Germany’s Story House Pictures for Joyn (Germany) and MEGA (Chile), Dignity is based on real events and centers on the mysterious Germanic cult Colonia Dignidad, which was established by a former Nazi soldier in a quiet Chilean town. Leo Ramírez, a federal prosecutor with his own secret history with Colonia, is tasked with bringing the sect’s elusive leader to justice.

Additional scripted highlights include The Bank Hacker, a character-driven thriller produced by De Mensen for VTM in Belgium, which sees a teenager join a team of expert con men and commit a bank heist. There’s also the crime drama Vienna Blood, based on the best-selling novels by Frank Tallis set in 1900s Vienna.

Red Arrow Studios International’s unscripted roster features the factual-entertainment series Dog’s Most Wanted, which sees bounty hunter Duane ‘Dog’ Chapman go after his biggest targets yet. The true-crime series Cult of Personality, exploring the legacies of history’s most notorious cult leaders; and Serial Psyche, a journey into the minds of the world’s most dangerous serial killers, will also be spotlighted at MIPCOM.

The company’s formats lineup includes Meat the Family, a new reality series that sees four meat-eating families welcome the animal they most frequently eat into their homes and then travel to learn more about animal welfare. Another new format on Red Arrow Studios International’s slate is Beat the Channel, which gives two popular TV presenters the chance to win a 15-minute live broadcast slot where anything goes; and Block Out, a physical game show that challenges contestants to stay on the wall or fall.
