MetFilms has announced a series of distribution deals for the Holocaust documentary Misha and the Wolves which made its world premiere in the Sundance World Documentary competition on Sunday.
The film, directed by Sam Hobkinson, follows a woman whose Holocaust memoir takes the world by storm. However, a fallout with her publisher-turned-detective reveals her story as an audacious deception created to hide a darker truth.
Netflix picked up the global SVOD window prior to the festival, and will carry the film exclusively in North America and other markets. The pic will not be one of the streamer’s branded documentaries. In addition, on board are BBC Storyville (UK), Zdf Arte (Germany & France), Vpro (the Netherlands), Vrt (Belgium), Svt (Sweden), Dr (Denmark), Nrk (Norway), Yle (Finland), Ruv (Iceland), Movistar+ (Spain), Yes Docu (Israel), Rts (Switzerland), Rtvs (Slovenia), Ert (Greece), and TG4 (Ireland).
