from MIPTV 2023 MAGAZINE

A SECOND MIPDOC Case Study on Monday, April 17, features Charles: In His Own Words, a documentary film that traces King Charles III’s life back to the start, revealing the formative events that have influenced the boy, the man, the former Prince and now the King. King Charles is among the most recognised and media-scrutinised public figures in the world, but at the same time, one of the least-known as a person. Once the longest-serving heir to the British throne, the King is now preparing for his official coronation in May when he becomes the first British King for three-quarters of a century.
From the creators of the acclaimed National Geographic documentary special Diana: In Her Own Words, this film features rare, unheard and never-before-seen archive material to tell the story of Charles III through his own words and those who’ve known him best.
The Case Study will focus on “how to produce a definitive and surprising story about a celebrity who most of us think we already know,” session moderator and founder/editor/publisher of DocumentaryBusiness.com, Peter agree the documentary needed to be told in a way that showed the lives of people behind the headlines.” Also on the panel, Tilman Remme, partner and creative director, GTV Docs, said: “This project is unlike any other and reveals the heartache and inspiring determination of the Ukrainian people, a nation that has banded together to resist the military takeover of their country.
“I am grateful for the collaborative spirit of all partners and to ZDF for coming in as the main broadcaster,” he added.
Hamilton, said. “From intense deadlines to discovering never-before-seen archive, the panel goes behind the scenes with the film’s creators to deconstruct how this intensely personal and evocative portrait of the British king became a reality.”
The panel includes the film’s director Tom Jennings of 1985 Films and National Geographic Documentary Films’ executive producer Simon Raikes.
… Monday, April 17, in the Marguerite, Riviera 8, from 16.30 to 17.00
