S4C, TG4 & MG ALBA Unite on Tri-Nation Doc Series

The Wall, a new documentary delving into borders around the world, marks the first tri-nation co-production between three Celtic-language broadcasters, S4C, TG4 and MG ALBA.

“This collaboration between S4C, TG4 and MG ALBA demonstrates what can be achieved when Celtic broadcasters work together,” said Llinos Wynne, head of documentaries and factual at S4C. “By pooling creative talent and resources, we can tell ambitious global stories while celebrating our shared cultural heritage.”

The series is produced by Rondo Media. Across four films, The Wall explores stories of identity, migration and reconciliation, meeting individuals living in the shadow of physical and invisible walls, from heavily fortified borders to divisions created by wealth, history and conflict.

The Wall takes viewers to the Finnish-Russian border, São Paulo in Brazil, Vietnam and the Spain-Morocco frontier in Ceuta, exploring how walls and borders shape the lives of communities living on either side.

“Projects like this show the strength of collaboration between broadcasters working in minority languages,” said Proinsias Ní Ghráinne, commissioning editor at TG4. “Series one was a hit on TG4 and was distributed to over 100 territories worldwide. The Wall is another powerful series that reflects both local perspectives and global realities.”

“Working with our partners in Wales and Ireland has created a genuinely collaborative production that highlights the strength of Celtic-language storytelling on the international stage,” said Margaret Cameron, director of content at MG ALBA. “It’s a series that speaks to our times.”

“The global nature of the stories covered in the first season of The Wall resonated well with audiences around the world, so we are delighted to be partnering once again with the Rondo Media team to offer this second season to our international buyers,” said Catherine McCormick, VP acquisitions at Cineflix Rights.
