Yesterday I was contacted by TLC International via CTVC Productions to assist with finding individuals for their new TV series "Separated at Birth". I've spoken with the Producer via Skype and this sounds like a wonderful project. I hope my readers will share this blog post to help get the word out!
Were you separated at birth?
Are you searching for your birth family?
Or have you already found them?
CTVC
Productions are making a brand new television series for TLC. We are
looking for family members who have been separated at birth to be
involved.
CTVC
is a multi award-winning company producing television, radio and new
media content on social issues, current affairs, religion, ethics,
history and education. You can see examples of our work at: http://www.ctvc.co.uk/tv/
The
series comprises seven episodes, which will be filmed between August to
December this year and broadcast in Spring 2016. Each episode will
follow three to four different stories of separation and reunion. Some
will be retrospective, whilst others will be reunions happening for the
first time.
The
tone of the series is uplifting and sympathetic to the experiences of
those whose stories we follow; we realize that we are addressing
sensitive and extremely personal issues and as such we are committed to
telling peoples' stories in the most respectful manner. The
observational format allows participants to author their own story, as
opposed to being presenter-led or a chat show format. We don't take on
the search ourselves, but we can assist with expenses, such as travel
costs as an example.
If
you would like to find out more, please do get in touch. You are not
obliged to get involved by contacting us, it’s just an opportunity for
us to give you some more information about the documentary.
Feel free to contact Georgia Smith, Assistant Producer, either by email or phone: georgia.smith@ctvc.co.uk / (0044) 207 940 8494.
