BBC News Persian TV Picks Up all3media international Package

Seven documentary specials and series have been licensed by all3media international to BBC News Persian TV.

Included in the multi-title agreement are Swan Films’ The Last Igloo, a film for BBC Four documenting the ingenious craft of igloo-building by an Inuit hunter out on the frozen tundra of arctic Greenland, and Raw TV’s Bollywood: The World’s Biggest Film Industry, a documentary produced for BBC Two that joins Bollywood obsessive Anita Rani as she takes a look behind the industry’s glittering exterior to discover how it works.

Also from Raw TV, Chris Packham: Asperger’s and Me (for BBC Two) and the two-part special Drowning in Plastic (for BBC One) were picked up as well. Meat: A Threat to Our Planet? (Raw TV for BBC One), Nadiya: Anxiety and Me (Raw TV for BBC One) and The Victorian House of Arts and Crafts (Lion TV for BBC Two) round out the package.

Kelly Shek, sales manager for Africa, Israel, the Middle East and South Africa at all3media international, commented, “We’re delighted to collaborate with BBC News Persian TV to bring this selection of world-class BBC programming to its viewers. This new acquisition showcases the broad subject matter of our non-scripted portfolio, which features documentaries from some of the industry’s most renowned factual producers—from a uniquely mesmerizing look at remote frozen landscapes of ice and snow in The Last Igloo to unmissable behind-the-scenes insight into a fast-paced, adrenaline-fuelled environment in Bollywood: The World’s Biggest Film Industry.”
