Diane Rankin, Distribution360\u2019s senior VP of international sales and acquisitions, tells TV Real<\/em>\u00a0what viewers can look forward to from the company\u2019s varied lineup of history-infused highlights.<\/p>\n

Distribution360\u2019s programming slate this year is packed with history offerings to feed viewers\u2019 imaginations, traveling from the workshop of a glass blower in ancient Mesopotamia to the muddy trenches of WWII to the ocean\u2019s dark abyss, where the Titanic\u2019s mangled body found its final resting place.<\/p>\n

\"***Image***\"\u201cPrograms that look at popular historical events through a new lens or that turn a known story on its head are high on our list,\u201d Rankin says. \u201cWith technological advances and new research delivering new angles to stories from the past, the history genre is relevant and relatable to an even broader audience around the world than ever before.\u201d<\/p>\n

Titanic: Stories from the Deep<\/em> explores the human side of the luxury liner\u2019s story, focusing on the lives of its passengers rather than its infamous demise. \u201cThe passion for the project that came from the producers Shel Piercy and Ron Goetz at Infinity Films and Partners in Motion hooked us from the beginning,\u201d Rankin explains. \"***Image***\"\u201cThey spoke so emotively about the stories that they had uncovered.\u201d Alongside never-before-seen artifacts salvaged from the ship\u2019s wreckage, \u201cviewers can look forward to emotional and incredible stories of love, fate, secrets and heroics,\u201d according to Rankin.<\/p>\n

Similar to Piercy and Goetz\u2019s investigation of the Titanic, WW2 Treasure Hunters <\/em>approaches an oft-studied subject with a completely fresh point of view. Featuring live digs that unearth relics from troops and POWs, the series uses archeology to complement the testimony of survivors, experts and historians, building a colorful living history of a conflict that is frequently relegated to black and white photos. \u201cAnd the unlikely duo of Britain’s foremost amateur WW2 detectorist, Stephen Taylor, and the band Madness\u2019 frontman, Suggs, bring a passionate and fresh twist to the execution,\u201d Rankin adds.<\/p>\n

The documentary Born By Fire: The Secret History of Glass Blowing <\/em>is currently in production and chronicles the colorful evolution of the art form\u2019s molecular composition, style and technique. The one-off outlines the complex beauty of glass blowing and the people who\u2019ve mastered the craft, \u201ctracing its origins from ancient Mesopotamia, to the old-world beauty of Lebanon and the kaleidoscopic wonder of Venice, to the present day, where a new generation of craftspeople are creating both everyday objects and breathtaking works of art,\u201d Rankin says.<\/p>\n

Available for distribution now is Murder By Shark<\/em>, a doc that sees history and science blend together to shed new light on the 1852 crash of the HMS Birkenhead, which was carrying three tons of gold when it mysteriously ran aground in a well-charted passage off the coast of South Africa. The area\u2019s sharks soon found the doomed survivors. Murder By Shark<\/em> sees naval historians, scientists and treasure hunters alike weigh in on what has become a bizarre conspiracy surrounding the incident.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re constantly looking for fresh new ideas that buyers and audiences will respond to,\u201d Rankin says. \u201cA fresh take helps to bring a whole new generation to history programming and creates demand on different platforms.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
