JD Freedman Congratulations on completing the documentary! While I don't have direct experience pitching to ARTE or ZDF, from what I've been learning, broadcasters like these tend to look for projects with strong historical value, clear editorial quality, and international relevance. I'd also consider connecting with documentary-focused sales agents or producer's representatives who already have established relationships with European broadcasters, as warm introductions can often make a big difference. Wishing you the very best with your outreach I hope the film finds the right home!

JD Freedman You're very welcome! I'm glad my feedback was helpful.
I always enjoy discussing story and screenplay development with fellow writers. Wishing you all the best as you continue developing the project, and I look forward to seeing how it evolves. Keep us updated on your progress!
Will do. There is an article about the film in C21 next week
