MIPCOM Spotlight: PBS International

PBS International’s The Facebook Dilemma examines warnings about Facebook’s impact on privacy and democracy, as well as its response to claims that it is promoting “fake news” on the platform.

“It may make you rethink your social media habits,” says Tom Koch, PBS International’s VP.

The four-hour series Native America, made with the participation of Native American communities, uses animations from Academy Award-nominated artists and 3D computer modeling to bring the pre-Columbus world to life. It was filmed in “some of the most spectacular locations in the hemisphere,” Koch notes.

World’s Greatest is another highlight from PBS International. The 36-episode series “takes viewers on a timeless journey around the planet, revealing the world’s greatest cities, natural wonders, animal encounters, journeys, man-made wonders and islands.”

“PBS International offers broadcast and digital platforms around the globe 3,000 hours of the highest-quality factual, lifestyle and children’s programming,” Koch adds.
