The series is a must-have for all broadcasters and platforms looking for currently relevant and grippingly narrated premium documentaries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The series shows how natural features such as mountains, seas, rivers and deserts have shaped political decisions, economic strategies and historical developments from early times to the 21st century. It addresses how the U.S. benefited from its unique location between two oceans, how Russia was shaped by a centuries-long search for ice-free seaports and how China\u2019s importance grew from its role as Eurasia\u2019s trading hub.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ZDF Studios has taken over the worldwide distribution of the three-part docuseries Maps of Power, produced by Story House Productions for ZDFinfo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":23650,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[11509,8990,1044,6212,1816],"class_list":["post-23649","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-maps-of-power","tag-nikolas-hulbusch","tag-story-house-productions","tag-zdf-studios","tag-zdfinfo","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>ZDF Studios to Distribute Maps of Power - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/zdf-studios-to-distribute-maps-of-power\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"ZDF Studios to Distribute Maps of Power - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"ZDF Studios has taken over the worldwide distribution of the three-part docuseries Maps of Power, produced by Story House Productions for ZDFinfo.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/zdf-studios-to-distribute-maps-of-power\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2025-08-26T15:18:29+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-08-26T15:19:23+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/08\/ZDFStudios-MapsofPower-0825.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"640\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"394\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/zdf-studios-to-distribute-maps-of-power\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/zdf-studios-to-distribute-maps-of-power\/\",\"name\":\"ZDF Studios to Distribute Maps of Power - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2025-08-26T15:18:29+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2025-08-26T15:19:23+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/zdf-studios-to-distribute-maps-of-power\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/zdf-studios-to-distribute-maps-of-power\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/zdf-studios-to-distribute-maps-of-power\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"ZDF Studios to Distribute Maps of Power\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\",\"name\":\"Jamie Stalcup\",\"description\":\"Jamie Stalcup is the executive editor of World Screen.
