Al Jazeera Network, the Middle East-headquartered international broadcaster, announced that it is significantly stepping-up the distribution of its feature programmes. It will be offering a range of its factual and documentary programming from Al Jazeera English, the Al Jazeera Documentary Channel and the Al Jazeera Satellite Channel.
Phil Lawrie, Director of Global Distribution stated: “With a growing portfolio of programmes from these three acclaimed channels, we’re able to market a range of compelling programming that covers a wide variety of current affairs topics and issues.
The library available from Al Jazeera English includes over 50 hours from its award-winning documentary strand Witness, comprising stories told by local filmmakers that provide a fresh insight into world events as they impact on the daily lives of ordinary people.
Arabic-language content includes Al Jazeera Documentary Channel’s 4-part documentary Arab Christians and, from the Al Jazeera Satellite Channel, The PLO – a 13-part documentary looking at the creation, establishment and existence of the Palestinian Liberation Organization.
Al Jazeera showcases this content and more at the forthcoming MIPDOC, March 28-29, and MIPTV, March 30-April 3.
