Whisky Doc ‘The Water Of Life’, Exec Produced By ‘The Magicians’ Brittany Curran, Lands At PBS
03.05.2022 - 00:35 / deadline.com
The Water of Life, a documentary about Scotland’s whisky industry, has been picked up by PBS.
The public broadcaster will launch the feature doc, which is exec produced by The Magicians star Brittany Curran, in June.
The doc was shot in six countries on three continents over three years and tells the story of the creative revolution that saved Scotland’s once flagging whisky industry and turned it into the global titan it is today.
It features a half-dozen distillers and distilleries but focuses much of its time on the resurrection of the tiny Bruichladdich Distillery on the remote Scottish island of Islay. Led by Mark Reynier and whisky legend Jim McEwan, the distillery went from being a mothballed memory to a world-beating innovator in a matter of years, helping to save the struggling economy of the island often called Whisky Island.
It also includes whisky writer Charles Maclean, master distiller Billy Walker, master blenders Dr. Rachel Barrie and David Stewart as well as the next generation of whisky folk including Adam Hannett, Kelsey McKechnie, Liam Hughes, Iain Croucher, and Eddie Brook.
The film was initially crowdfunded, and the release strategy included a heavy presence at both film and whisky festivals. But then Covid happened so the team pivoted to virtual screenings, paired with whisky tastings.
The 90-minute film, which was picked up by PBS+, will air on PBS starting on June 1 with many outlets airing on Father’s Day, June 19.
The film was produced by Blacksmith & Jones, the production company that Greg Swartz co-owns with Trevor Jones. It was co-produced by Special Order and Aurora Films.
“We are excited to include the delightfully charming film The Water of Life in the summer 2022 PBS+ schedule,” said Sarah
