MIPCOM Spotlight: Deutsche Welle

Among Deutsche Welle’s highlights, Life, the Universe and Almost Everything has six new episodes available.

The series “makes science tangible and entertaining, asking pertinent questions and feeding our curiosity,” says Petra Schneider, director of sales and distribution.

Guardians of Truth tells the stories of activists who have been exiled from their homelands and “gets to the heart of journalism, with personal stories full of emotion that show the tenacity and integrity needed,” Schneider says.

Railway Stories, meanwhile, gives viewers the chance to see the world and understand the people and places served by railway routes that go through the jungles of Borneo, the Swiss Alps and more.

Returning documentary and information strands such as Quest for Knowledge, EuroMaxx, The Art of Space and The Great Outdoors are also on offer.

“Our aim in Cannes is to connect with existing and new partners whose audiences have an appetite for high-quality factual content,” Schneider says.
