French Pickup for Escobar Exposed Doc

Beyond Distribution has sold the documentary Escobar Exposed to Canal+ Group to air on the French channel Planète+ Crime Investigation.

Produced by Telegramme Media in Canada, Escobar Exposed is the only documentary about the infamous drug lord to feature exclusive in-depth interviews with Pablo Escobar’s son, Juan Pablo, and Pablo Escobar’s widow, Tata, along with previously unseen footage. Juan Pablo Escobar, who features exclusively in the documentary, is attending MIPCOM to promote the two-hour doc.

Christine Cauquelin, the managing director of documentary and factual channels at Canal+ Group, commented: “We are delighted to bring this documentary special to our Planète+ Crime Investigation channel as it meets our high-quality standards and provides our viewers with an original story, a unique angle and exclusive access to the main characters.”

Marzenna Czubowicz, the senior VP of sales for Western Europe at Beyond Distribution, added: “We are thrilled this show will be airing on Canal+ Group in France. For the first time in 25 years, Juan Pablo and his mother reveal what they believe really happened to Pablo Escobar and it is compelling viewing.”
