EXCLUSIVE: The rise of the Paralympic Games has been one of sport’s biggest recent triumphs, and a trailblazing content initiative charting its story is now set to take the narrative even deeper.
Harder Than You Think (HTYT), which has exclusive worldwide rights to tell the story of the Paralympics through to the 2028 Games in LA, has appointed European production and sales house Off the Fence to find partners for the next four projects coming from its Rising Phoenix Universe initiative.
British indie HTYT was set up by London 2012 Chief Marketing Officer Greg Nugent and is chaired by ex-BBC Director General Tony Hall. It has been building the Rising Phoenix Universe since launching the double Emmy-winning Netflix and Bytedance doc Rising Phoenix, about the history of the Paralympic movement, in 2020.
As part of the agreement, ZDF Studios-owned Off the Fence will also co-produce additional content commissioned outside of the core four projects.
Off the Fence will oversee the distribution strategy for upcoming Rising Phoenix productions Road To Tokyo (2022) and Paris 2024: A New Revolution (working title), which comes ahead of the Olympic and Paralympic Games in France this summer.
Road to Tokyo is a three-part docu-series following 12 Paralympians preparing to compete in the delayed Tokyo 2020 Paralympics through the Covid-19 pandemic. Co-directed by Mat Whitecross and pioneering deaf director Bim Ajadi, the series is produced by John Battsek from Ventureland and executive produced by Jack Thorne, the British scribe who is one of TV’s strongest advocates for those with disabilities. One in four who worked on the production identify as disabled.
