Banijay Rights Picks Up Princess Diana Doc

Banijay Rights has acquired the rights to Diana: The Truth Behind Her Death (working title).

Produced by Tony Comiti for M6 in France, the one-hour film features exclusive testimony from contributors and witnesses, including members of the investigation team and emergency services who were first to arrive on the scene of the crash in the Alma tunnel—some of whom have never spoken before. The factual program also used professional stunt teams to reconstruct key events to help understand what really happened.

Emily Elisha, the head of factual at Banijay Rights, commented, “Twenty years later there are still many open theories and unanswered questions about what caused Princess Diana’s death. This film, produced in France where she died, presents a thorough investigation and sheds new light on this monumental event that shook the world.”

The documentary’s director, Manuel Laigre, said, “We left no stone unturned to get to the bottom of this tragedy which has remained a mystery for two decades. The outcome of our documentary film will leave viewers stunned and ultimately outraged as this was a death of a woman—the mother of young children—which could have been so easily avoided.”
