Shadows & Dust: Lost History to debut on Canadian broadcaster Super Channel
Canada’s Go Button Media and local broadcaster Super Channel have linked up with ZDF Studios in Germany on an eight-hour factual series.
Shadows & Dust: Lost History examines famous people, places and objects that have seemingly vanished from the historical record in a bid to shed light on some of the most perplexing gaps in human history.
Each episodes features a new topic, ranging from Russia’s Amber Room, believed to have been looted by the Nazis during the Second World War, to the mystery of Jesus’ Lost Tomb.
Each episode reconstructs the final moments before the historical puzzles slipped into legend, using archival material, ancient artwork, cinematic CGI, and dramatic reconstructions.
The deal marks the latest partnership between the Canadian companies and ZDFS, which previously worked together on Into the Universe: The Secrets of the Cosmos Uncovered. ZDFS is global distributor.
Daniel Oron, co-founder and executive producer at Go Button, said: “Our first collaboration proved productive and rewarding for each of the partners, and I believe that all the elements are in place for Shadows & Dust: Lost History to produce an equally dynamic and successful follow-up.”
Ralf Rückauer, vice president of unscripted at ZDF Studios, added: “The appetite for high-quality factual content that challenges what we think we know about the past has never been stronger.
“With Shadows & Dust: Lost History, Go Button Media delivers exactly that—an enthralling blend of expert insight, cinematic reconstruction and global historical intrigue.”
Kim Ball, exec vice president of content and communications at Super Channel, said the “ambitious and compelling series” reflected the broadcaster’s commitment to factual.
Shadows & Dust: Lost History is currently in production, due to deliver this summer.
