France TV Distribution confirmed launching the international distribution of "George Untamed Spirit" (La Rebelle), produced by Siècle Productions and Umedia. France TV Distribution will distribute the show worldwide and present it at Mipcom next week in Cannes.
"George Untamed Spirit" is a 4x52' biopic starring Nine d'Urso, Vincent Londez, Barbara Pravi, Oscar Lesage, Jonathan Turnbull, and David Kammenos, with scenarios by Georges-Marc Benamou, Henri Helman, and Elodie Monlibert, and directed by Rodolphe Tissot.

Aurore Dupin fled Nohant for Paris to escape her violent husband and break free from the bourgeois shackles of her upbringing. In the bustling capital of the early 19th century, Aurore led a Bohemian life and published her very first novel using a pseudonym, so "George Sand" was born. She became the first female writer to make a living from her books, inflaming her readers' passions and sealing a string of literary successes. A feminist before her time, wearing men's clothing and smoking a pipe in cabarets, she had many lovers, including Alfred de Musset, Jules Sandeau, and the great actress Marie Dorval, among the most famous. Her novels paint a vast fresco of her time, but her true masterpiece... is her life!
