Indie distributor Woodcut International has finalized sales with various European broadcasters for the 2-part documentary series Titanic in Colour.

The Woodcut Media production, Titanic in Colour (2 x 45’) has been acquired by YLE (Finland), DR TV (Denmark), SVT (Sweden), Warner Bros. Discovery (Italy), RMC Découverte (France), Česká Televize (Czech Republic), and Viasat World.

“In no time at all, this title has proved really popular with our buyers as it appeals to such a diverse contemporary audience. 'Titanic in Colour's distinct feel breathes new life into some incredible and unusual stories surrounding one of history’s most devastating maritime disasters,” said Koulla Anastasi, Managing Director of Woodcut International.

The documentary has also pre-sold to C4 (UK) and SBS (Australia).

When the Titanic sank on the 15th of April 1912, the news shook the world. Now, thanks to painstaking research and unique colourisation techniques, this incredible documentary brings to life everything from the lavish interiors of the ship, artefacts, and clothing from passengers (giving insight into their lives), to the larger-than-life people who built, sailed on, and ultimately survived the sinking. Featuring captivating interviews and exclusives with relatives of the passengers and crew, "Titanic in Colour" uncovers little-known stories, such as the impact on Southampton, ‘the city of widows’, and the long-lasting psychological trauma of many who lived to tell the gruesome tale.

Series Producer is Jonathan Mayo, with Kate Beal and Tom Adams serving as Executive Producers. Woodcut International is handling worldwide sales.

Titanic in Colour is scheduled to air in the next few months.
