Autentic Distribution, the sales division of the factual label Autentic, has secured the global rights to a stand-alone documentary “Corona Diaries” focusing on personal fates during the coronavirus pandemic.
The title (1x43’, 1x52’, 1x90’) traces 30 days of the pandemic using material filmed by protagonists around the world with their mobile phones. The documentary is an authentic portrayal of different personal fates in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic – whether of a nurse in Spain, a girl in a refugee camp in Greece or a student in China, a construction worker in India or a delivery boy in New York.
The doc is produced by Berlin Producers for Germany’s international broadcaster Deutsche Welle and the acquisition marks another collaboration between Berlin Producers and Autentic Distribution.
