PBS International & HHMI Tangled Bank Partner on Science Docs

PBS International has entered into a distribution partnership with HHMI Tangled Bank Studios, the production company behind The Serengeti Rules.

The Serengeti Rules, which earned Wildscreen’s best theatrical documentary award, explores the fate of life on Earth. It follows a group of scientists who had set off to learn about how nature works in the 1960s, traveling around the globe. Over the years, they uncovered a single set of rules that govern all life, and they open up about their adventures and findings in the award-winning doc. PBS International will distribute The Serengeti Rules, in addition to other science documentaries from HHMI Tangled Bank Studios.

Tom Koch, VP of PBS International, said: “We are thrilled to enter this partnership with HHMI Tangled Bank Studios to bring these important and visually arresting scientific documentaries to the international marketplace. The Serengeti Rules is a beautiful film that speaks to the vital work HHMI Tangled Bank Studios is doing to shine a light on groundbreaking scientific stories. We look forward to bringing this and many other stories from the studio to international audiences.”

“Our films further our educational mission by telling the human stories of the pioneering scientists behind some of the most important discoveries of our time,” said Sean B. Carroll, executive director of HHMI Tangled Bank Studios. “We select our stories based on their ability to inspire curiosity and wonder about the world around us.”
