Federation On Board AIDS Drama

Mayane Films and Federation Entertainment are co-producing AIDS, a drama that charts the emergence of the disease.

The international co-production is being developed by Georges Benayoun (Tous les Garçons et les Filles) and Franck Nouchi, a journalist for the French newspaper Le Monde and a doctor. A medical thriller, the series will be set in the 1980s when the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) epidemic first hit.

Federation Entertainment is handling international sales for the series. Financing for the project is being finalized with a major U.S. partner.
