Last Word Entertainment has unveiled the Narco Mennonites<\/em> launch date for Canada’s Crave to be January 16.<\/p>\n

\u201cNarco Mennonites<\/em> opens a hidden underworld that has never been documented on this scale,\u201d said writer, director and executive producer Sherry Fynbo. \u201cGaining that level of access allowed us to tell an original story audiences haven\u2019t seen before.\u201d<\/p>\n

The executive producers of the series are Nanci MacLean, Scott McGillivray, James Carroll, Justin Stockman and David Holthouse. Narco Mennonites<\/em> is the first title between Last Word Entertainment and MEM\u2019s new production partnership.<\/p>\n

Narco Mennonites <\/em>tells the true story of the Mennonite family that quietly transformed a rural Canadian town into the epicenter of a North American drug empire. The series exposes how members of a secretive religious community became entangled with cartel networks.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis propulsive investigative series is an ideal project for MEM\u2019s first foray into true crime factual programming,\u201d said McGillivray. \u201cWe are delighted to work with Sherry and Last Word in bringing additional engaging projects to the screen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last Word Entertainment is handling global distribution, with the series now being taken to international markets following its Canadian premiere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
