The company will also have a screening of "Living On A Razor’s Edge", on the 6th, at 3 p.m., at Canneseries, a parallel event to MIPTV, that celebrates the best television works in the world.

Other highlights at MIPTV are the Globoplay Originals series "The end" and "The others".

Globo's portfolio for MIPTV also includes Globoplay Originals such as ‘We Are Five’, which had its third and final season recently released, "The Brazilian mafia", "The life ahead", "Justice: life is not fair", the franchises of "Anti-kidnapping unit", and ‘Vicky and the muse’, as well as the telenovelas ‘"Land of desire" and "Crossed paths".
Produced by AfroReggae Audiovisual, in partnership with Formata Produções e Conteúdo and Globoplay, "Living On A Razor’s Edge" was created by José Junior ("Anti-kidnapping unit’) and narrates in eight episodes the sociologist Herbert de Souza’s (1935-1997) fight for major social causes. The series is directed by Lipe Binder and features names such as Julio Andrade ("Under pressure"), who is also part of the directing team, Humberto Carrão ("All the flowers"), Leandra Leal ("Justice: life Is not fair"), Andréia Horta ("In your place"), Ravel Andrade ("Aruanas"), Walderez de Barros ("Once we were Six"), Michel Gomes, and Sirlea Aleixo.
