Wellspring partners with Norwegian producer

New York-based distributor Wellspring has picked up international rights to a new cookery programme and two documentary programmes from Norwegian producer .Nett TV.

Wellspring has acquired New Scandinavian Cooking with Andreas, a 13-part half-hour series hosted by Andreas Viestad. Giving the programme a more unusual edge, Andreas' culinary skills are set against the backdrop of the landscapes, culture and history of Norway.

Wellspring has also picked up two one-hour social documentary programmes, MS Tampa and Until Death Do Us Part, for the global market.

MS Tampa tells the story of one of a 20-metre wooden fishing boat with 438 refugees, most from Afghanistan, that last year became stranded north of Christmas Island. A Norwegian cargo ship – the MS Tampa – rescued the asylum seekers and a battle then ensued between Australia, Norway and Indonesia as to which country should open its borders to the refugees.

Meanwhile, Until Death do us Part is the adventure story of Norwegian explorer Oscar Wisting, a man who raced to plant his flag at both the North and South Poles.
