BBC Storyville Unveils Winter 2024 Slate

Five new films from the BBC Storyville slate are set to air in early 2024 on BBC Four and iPlayer, including Revenge: Our Dad the Nazi Killer.

Broadcasting on January 23, the real-life murder mystery follows three Australian brothers who investigate whether their father and uncle, both Holocaust survivors, may have been involved in the deaths of former Nazis after the war.

Beyond Utopia: Escape from North Korea is also set to bow soon, along with Another Body, which explores two women’s experiences as victims of deepfake AI pornography.

Eternal Memory, from Oscar-nominated documentary director Maite Alberdi, is also slated. The final title, Total Trust, delves into state surveillance and digital social control in China.

Emma Hindley, lead commissioning editor for Storyville, said: “BBC Storyville’s first season of 2024 offers something for everyone who loves international feature documentaries. The season starts with a film marking International Holocaust Memorial Day, following three Australian brothers on their quest to discover whether their father, a survivor, killed former Nazis after the war. There is a film about extreme social surveillance and punishment in China; an AI porn revenge tale, where a young woman tracks down the perpetrator; two Oscar hopefuls—Maite Alberdi’s moving portrait of a Chilean couple dealing with Alzheimer’s and a dramatic, immersive documentary following North Koreans attempting to flee one of the most oppressive places on Earth, a land they were taught was paradise.”
