Berlin’s Co-Pro Series Welcomes Skateboarders, Drug Kingpins and Fernando Meirelles
Berlinale’s Co-Pro Series welcomes skateboarders, drug kingpins, Fernando Meirelles and ‘Anne of Green Gables’ author Lucy Maud Montgomery.
Some uncomfortable, yet necessary questions will be raised in “The Best of Families.” Created by Maja Jul Larsen and based on real events around the Cheminova chemical factory in the early 1950s, it shows a family that believes their life is finally getting better – unfortunately, it comes at a price the environment will have to pay. With pilot script and second episode ready, this Canadian show is about to introduce a wider audience to writer Lucy Maud Montgomery, forgotten force behind such classics as “Anne of Green Gables.” As well as her personal life, her passionate affairs, turbulent marriage, the pressures of fame, her ongoing struggle with mental illness and the solace she found in her writing. Referencing disturbing events, namely the real-life 2018 murder of a journalist and his fiancée, the show will follow people who “uncover a web of corruption and moral decay, exposing the dark underbelly of Slovak society,” promise the makers.
