"Nuremberg, The Trial of the Century"
France tv distribution has launched the international distribution of two new documentaries at Sunny Side of the Doc, which takes place from June 23 to 26, 2025 in La Rochelle.
"Nuremberg, The Trial of the Century" (2x45’/90’) produced by KM (Banijay France) and Dreamtime and written and directed by Alfred de Montesquiou follows "the trial of the century" — the prosecution of 21 high-ranking Nazi officials. Iconic figures such as Ray D’Addario, John Dos Passos, Martha Gellhorn, Joseph Kessel et Elsa Triolet are brought together at the Faber-Castell Castle, where they will document the horrors of the Holocaust and report the Nazi barbarity to the world.
Catherine Alvaresse, President of KM said: "In honor of the 80th anniversary of the Nuremberg Trials, we look back at one of the most significant trials of the 20th century. Those who experienced it firsthand—war correspondents, photographers, filmmakers, and writers from all over the world—will recount how they lived through the trial that forever marked history with the creation of two essential notions that still resonate today: genocide and crimes against humanity. I'm thrilled to be collaborating with France TV Distribution to maximize its international exposure."
France tv distribution has also released “Egypt Decoded: Raiders of the Lost Pharaohs" (6x45’) written and directed by Sigrid Clément and produced by Pernel Media.
In the 19th century, Egypt is the scene of an archaeological Wild West where the great European powers clashes over the treasures of the pharaohs. In this immersive docu-fiction, audiences follow the thrilling adventures of legendary figures like Champollion, Belzoni, Lepsius, Denon, and Mariette. These pioneers of Egyptology, navigating the fine line between scientific discovery and treasure hunting, explored the wonders of Giza, Luxor, and Abu Simbel.
