Curiosity commissions war documentaries from France’s ZED

Normandy, Northern Men Empire

US factual SVoD platform Curiosity Stream and the linear Curiosity Channel have commissioned 10 documentary programmes from French producer and distributor ZED.

The order includes four episodes of Besieged Fortresses, Battles of Legend, directed by Fabrice Buysschaert, Sophie Scala, Marion Vaqué- Marti and Angèle Berlan. The series explores how fortresses redefined the art of warfare.

Also in the deal are three episodes of Normandy, Northern Men Empire, directed by Juliette Desbois. It examines the armed conflicts that made Normandy one of the most coveted territories in Europe.

Manuel Catteau, president of ZED, said: “This agreement strengthens the close ties between our two companies. It also strengthens our growth strategy in the US market, which has become a key territory for us.”
