Chudor House Productions, Artist International Group Developing Kenyan Bestseller ‘Truth Is A Flightless Bird’ For TV; Adam Targum Set As Showrunner
Bestselling crime novel 'Truth is a Flightless Bird' is being developed for TV with Adam Targum as showrunner.
Banshee ‘s Adam Targum will serve as showrunner for the drama, with Odiri Iwuji at Chudor House and Aleksey Ageyev at Artist International Group producing. Set between Kenya and the U.S., Truth is a Flightless Bird is a brutal love letter to the frontier town that is present-day Nairobi: a studied observation of the failure of bare-knuckled capitalism, the inequality machines our cities have become, and — ultimately — the profoundly irrational human capacity to hope, to risk everything in order to have something in which to believe. Notable clients include Michelle Yeoh ( Everything Everywhere All at Once), Jonathan Rhys Meyers ( The Tudors), Anil Kapoor ( Slumdog Millionaire), Gong Li ( Mulan), Carolina Miranda (Fake Profile), Kev Adams ( Retirement Home), Rafael Cebrian ( Acapulco), Fan Bingbing ( The 355), Rossy de Palma ( Parallel Mothers) and Zine Tseng ( 3 Body Problem), to name just a few.
