The story portrays the feud fought between Albert Plesman (director of KLM) and Anthony Fokker (a famous pilot and aircraft manufacturer) between 1919 and 1939.<\/p>\n<p>Although both men shared a passion for flying, they couldn\u2019t have been more different. Born to humble means, Plesman was an honest, hard-working family man who was happily married all his life. Fokker came from a wealthy family and was a notorious playboy and womanizer who didn\u2019t play by the rules. The two men were intrinsically tied together, though: Plesman needed airplanes to keep the ailing KLM afloat, and Fokker needed a big customer to buy his planes. Despite their differences, they jointly ensured that the Netherlands became a global player in the field of aviation.<\/p>\n<p>The series is in line with the state-of-the-art drama that\u2019s so popular with TV audiences today. It depicts a historical setting with dynamic camera work, cutting-edge visual effects and high-end art direction. <em>Turbulent Skies<\/em> is scheduled to broadcast on Dutch national television, NPO1, this fall. The 8&#215;50-minute drama is produced by Topkapi Series, in co-production with Avrotros.<\/p>\n<p>See Global Screen\u2019s Summer 2020 Showcase <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3gT3jVW\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alexandra Heidrich, Global Screen\u2019s head of acquisitions and sales for international TV and SVOD, gathered the company\u2019s sales team for a video interview with Turbulent Skies producer Idse Grotenhuis and director Joram L\u00fcrsen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":13608,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[235,4025],"class_list":["post-13607","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-global-screen","tag-turbulent-skies","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
