MEDIAWAN RIGHTS AT THE SUNNY SIDE OF THE DOC

Mediawan Rights will be present at the Sunny Side of the doc, the international marketplace for documentary and narrative experiences, from June 20th to 23rd.

The documentary team of Mediawan Rights is proud to announce the launch of the sales of The Birth of a conflict.

Produced by Yaron Niski, (Enslaved narrated by Samuel L. Jackson, 2020), The Birth of a Conflict is a three-part documentary series exploring the deep-rooted origins of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The series chooses to focus on a perspective that has been repeatedly overlooked—the British Imperialist point of view and the historical lens of the 30-year-long Mandate in Palestine (1917-1948) during which the British Empire defended its goals and its own interests.

The series The Birth of a Conflictis rooted in a broad and exciting research into the 30 years of the British Mandate in Palestine. Through a series of groundbreaking discoveries and surprising testimonies, made possible thanks to exclusive secret British archival access and audio recordings from the Palestinian police, the program brings to light secrets and misunderstandings from this critical moment in history that have remained obscured for decades, and show them on screen for the very first time.

Come and meet the documentary team of Mediawan Rights on the A2 booth at the Sunny Side of the Doc from June 20th to 23rd!
