Woodcut Media has landed presales with Channel 4 in the U.K. and SBS in Australia on the new documentaries Britain\u2019s Railway Empire in Colour<\/em> and The Manhattan Project in Colour<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The Manhattan Project in Colour<\/em> has also secured slots with Mediawan for Toute L\u2019Histoire, TV Catalunya, UR in Sweden, Viasat World and Channel 8 in Israel.<\/p>\n

Finland’s YLE picked up both documentaries, which feature newly colorized archives. Jonathan Mayo is series producer, while Kate Beal serves as executive producer on both documentaries, distributed by Woodcut International.<\/p>\n

Mayo commented: \u201cThe colorization techniques and restoration of footage for both these historical docs makes the events very real. The Manhattan Project<\/em>, for example, is more than just the story of Robert Oppenheimer but an exploration of the pioneering work of the British nuclear scientists, the birth of the so-called ‘Atomic City’ of Oak Ridge that grew out of the Tennessee mud and the story of the thousands who worked there. To hear from those affected by the radiation from the Project’s US testing and from a Hiroshima survivor were stark reminders of the human cost of the atomic program.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
