"Extremadura. A Natural Paradise in Europe"
3Boxmedia International Sales will be attending Mipdoc and MIPTV with new documentaries focusing on current affairs and the most impressive of nature. Among the main releases, the distributor highlights "Extremadura. A Natural Paradise in Europe" (1x52mins 2x45mins or 1x87mins) from 1080 Wildlife Productions. The blue-chip documentary was shot in UHD over the last three years in one of the most biodiverse and at the same time the most unknown regions in Europe. The film takes audiences to Extremadura, a Spanish region with a third of its territory being a protected area, where endangered and unique species such as the Iberian lynx, the black vulture and the black stork find their refuge together with other prodigious survivors such as the triops, a crustacean that carries in its planet 220 million years.
"Hidden Nature in Guinea Bissau" (1x50mins 4K) shows a treasure for biologists like Raúl León: the Bijagós Islands, a maze of 88 islands, recognized by UNESCO as a Biosphere Reserve, where audiences will discover the wildest and most hidden nature.
"Queen of Hearts" (1x52’ HD) reveals the spy who may have inspired Ian Fleming’s idea of the “Bond Girl”. Family member of the last tsars of Russia. Spy for the Nazi regime in Germany and later double agent in her British Majesty’s service. The life of Larissa Swirski sounds like a novel, but it was real. Until the secret about the MI5 files was revealed, hardly anyone knew who the Queen of Hearts was: a crucial character in the espionage network woven in Gibraltar during the Second World War.
