VPRO Acquires Netherlands Broadcast Rights to Hot Docs Film ‘Daughter of Genghis’ (EXCLUSIVE)
Dutch public broadcaster VPRO has acquired Netherlands broadcast rights to 'Daughter of Genghis.'
While combating prostitution, the crushing influence of neighboring China, and longing for the past glory of her nation under Genghis Khan rule, Gerel was also struggling to raise her son Temuulen on her own. “The film is not only visually stunning but also has been able, due to the length of the production process, to show a unique transformation from the main character when it comes to her political beliefs and the way to deal with them,” says Nathalie Windhorst, VPRO head of factual acquisitions. Producer Andreas Dalsgaard of Elk Film adds: “The acquisition by VPRO is important to show that creative character driven documentaries have a place with broadcasters, who tend to prioritize investigative journalistic stories.”
