Bavaria Fiction Unveils Documentary Label Icon Docs, Projects Include ‘Hitler in Hollywood,’ ‘The Park – New York’s Revolutionary Heart’
Bavaria Fiction’s documentary unit, founded in March 2022, has been spun off as a separate brand called Icon Docs.
With a clear focus on current, political and investigative topics, biographies and contemporary history, we create sophisticated content that deserves the attention of a broad, global audience.” Icon Docs’ current productions include the true-crime documentary “Car Park Murder – Who Killed Charlotte Böhringer?” for Sky and the biopic “Ultra-Orthodox: Rabbi Akiva’s Journey to Freedom” for ZDF and 3sat. Projects in development include “Hitler in Hollywood” (working title), which examines the complex relationship between Hollywood and Nazi Germany in the 1930s and “The Park – New York’s Revolutionary Heart” (working title), a documentary about Washington Square Park reflecting its American history, as a place of change, resistance and the search for identity – as well as an arena in the fight for freedom and equality, which takes on a special poignancy in the shadow of the forthcoming U.S. presidential election in 2024.
