Trotsky coming to Mexico and Denmark

Charting the rise of the Bolshevik revolutionary from his early days as an imprisoned political dissident, through to his assassination at the hands of rival Stalin, Trotsky sparked wide interest in the international market with a spectacular launch at MIPCOM 2017.

Now Canal 22 in Mexico, and Denmark's state broadcaster DR have picked up the series, which was originally made for Russia’s Channel One by Sreda Production Company.

“Russia has been in the spotlight lately, with the centenary of the October Revolution late last year, and the football world cup taking place this summer,” says Nicola Söderlund, Managing Partner of Eccho Rights. “This high budget, premium costume drama is a great acquisition for buyers looking to seize on this interest in Russia’s rich history.”
