MIPTV Spotlight: NHK Enterprises

Narrated by Sir David Attenborough, the NHK Enterprises documentary series SATOYAMA captures the beauty of satoyama life.

“Japanese regions known as satoyama embody a wealth of human wisdom for turning nature’s fury into agricultural bounty,” says Afumi Watanabe, chief manager for the content distribution department in the content development center. It is a co-pro with ARTE France.

Radioactive Forest 10 Years After, co-produced with Curiosity Stream, picks up ten years after the Fukushima nuclear accident to spotlight the residents and scientists trying to find a way back to normality.

Hidden India: The Golden City of Jaisalmer is a co-pro between NHK and India’s Séance Entertainment that looks at the maze-like streets of the fort and its buildings that are covered with intricate carvings.
