Film Studio and Neon Jane Productions, premiered on Stan and follows Australian actress Tahyna MacManus on an intimate journey to meet other courageous women, doctors and fertility experts to break down the taboo surrounding the experience of miscarriage.

TVF will also be bringing a number of crime and investigation documentaries to market, including One Day that Changed Asia and How to Catch a Killer, as well as half a dozen COVID-19-related programs.

Will Stapley, head of acquisitions at the distributor, said: “Given the unfortunate delays and cancellations to so many productions this year, we are very proud to be offering our buyers such a strong slate of award-winning, purposeful and relevant programming that will cater to unscripted buyers in every corner of the globe.”
