NEW ACQUISITIONS
The family drama "Watch Over Me" (6x60') produced by Pamplemousse Media is one of the new series. The lives of a grandmother and her four-year-old grandson are turned upside down when the boy's mother returns to take him back after abandoning him three years earlier.
In the Police Procedural Comedy "Playing Both Sides" (12x30') produced by Jumelage Productions, two talented, but out-of-work North African actors are recruited by a Detective Lieutenant to be part of a secret undercover division.
The Unscripted Variety Show "The Soundtrack of my Life" (16 seasons) produced by Attraction and associate producer France Beaudoin, features well-known guest reminiscing about the songs that have shaped their lives through interviews, live performances, surprise guest appearances and breathtaking original numbers.
In the Educational Content "About Sex" (35x7') from Echo Media young people are inundated with images and messages about their bodies, sexuality and relationships. This series that was made for them explores topics from consent to pornography addiction, through skits, expert advice and teen testimonials. In addition, the education content "About Mental Health" (35x2') also from Echo Media, is an engaging and insightful series that fearlessly tackles the complex world of mental health, answering the pressing questions that today’s tweens and teens might have.
Furthermore, the Feature Film "Lucy Grizzli Sophie" (89 minutes) from Azimut Films & KO24 is a terribly relevant psychological thriller about a high-powered female executive that will keep you on the edge of your seat and the Documentary "The Miracle Shot?" (1x45') from Lustitia Productions is a search for the truth about a hot topic: the worldwide craze for appetite suppressants like Ozempic, designed to treat diabetes but popularized for weight loss.
