Canal+ France Bolsters Doc Slate

Canal+ France has acquired 12 hours of documentary content from Espresso Media International for Canal+ Docs, Planete+ Crime and Planete+.

The package includes the extreme sports documentary American Daredevil, which will make its French premiere on Canal+ Docs. The feature doc charts the life and tragic death of 23-year-old adventurer Johnny Strange, the youngest person ever to summit the highest peak on all seven continents.

Canal+ Docs and Planete+ Crime picked up the three-part true-crime series Monster in the Shadows. The Peacock original series documents the investigation into the disappearance of Brittney Wood and her mother’s search for the truth.

Acquired for Planete+, History’s Greatest Warbirds brings a selection of military planes to life, exploring stories of classic military aircraft, iconic racers and quirky pioneers.
