GRB docs go global

Confessions of a Superhero

Broadcasters and distributors in the UK, Germany and Japan have acquired documentaries about Walt Disney and child murder from distributor GRB Entertainment.

Channel 5 in the UK and Fujisankei Communications Japan both acquired Walt: The Man Behind the Myth, which includes exclusive footage and interviews with celebrities, directors and animators who knew the businessman.

German sales outfit Docs de Cologne took four documentaries, including Until Proven Innocent: The Hannah Overton Story. The investigative doc explores the mysterious death of a four-year-old from Texas who died of salt poisoning and his mother who was blamed for his death.

The company also picked up prison-focused doc Babies Behind Bars, Hollywood-based Confessions of a Superhero and I Cloned My Pet, about people who go to extremes to bring their pets back to life.
