New Docuseries from yes Studios

yes Studios’ new documentary series The Lost City: 101 Days in Captivity is set to debut on yes Docu on September 19.

The three-parter is yes Studios’ second collaboration with Paramount’s Ananey Studios. Ofir Trainin (Wandering Eyes, Family in Trans) serves as creator and director of the series.

Omri Kronland, Ananey Studios’ documentary and non-scripted content editor-manager and author of the novel The Place Where the Sun Begins, is also a series creator. Trainin acts as director, with Keren Gleicher, Guy Lavie and Uzi Karin as executive producers for yes and Orly Atlas-Katz and Osnat Saraga as executive producers for Paramount’s Ananey Studios.

yes Studios is international distributor for the series.

Sharon Levi, managing director of yes Studios, said: “This compelling and chilling documentary series provides a fascinating insight into what it is like to be kidnapped, along with the long-term physical and psychological impacts of the former hostages’ survival journey.

“At a time when the plight of hostages, from how their kidnappers treat them to the long-lasting effects of such a violent disruption to their lives, remains a very topical subject not just in Israel but also in other areas of the world where there is conflict, we believe this new documentary will resonate with many international buyers. We are pleased to now add this series to our growing factual catalog and look forward to introducing it to our clients at MIPCOM.”
