We\u2019re excited to present this project to our potential partners at MIPCOM next week.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gavan said: \u201cThis film was a passion project I knew I had to make. I dedicated over a decade to getting access to this important story. I started the most inspiring journey, which also took me through the worst tragedy whilst developing this film. It\u2019s going to take the audience on the same emotional rollercoaster but hopefully leave them in a better, more hopeful place.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lea Fels, partner at Scenery, said: \u201cThe combination of this special project, the collaboration with Mags Gavan and this unique story that we want to bring to a worldwide audience fits seamlessly with Scenery&#8217;s portfolio. We are therefore very proud that Mags entrusted us to start this project with her.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Banijay Rights has aligned with the Banijay Benelux joint venture Scenery on Lara vs. Escobar, a feature documentary recounting the reconciliation story behind Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar\u2019s most famous assassination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":18878,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[1884],"class_list":["post-18877","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-banijay-rights","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Lara vs. Escobar Feature Doc from Banijay Rights &amp;
