MADRID — Adding a new dimension to strong women action series, London-based global drama producer-distributor, Fremantle is teaming with Fabula, headed by director Pablo Larrain (“Jackie”) a…
as part of a multi-year first look deal between the partners, after buzzed-up sexual abuse psychological thriller “La Jauría” , showrun by Lucía Puenzo , whose Ep. 1 premiered at September’s Zurich Festival to acclaim. As on “La Jauría,” Fremantle is co-producing “Talitha Kum” with Fabula and will handle international sales.
Initial action centers on Tenanchingo, Tlaxcala, South-East Mexico, a notorious hub of sexual slavery. There, a faction of kick-ass liberation nuns, part of worldwide covert org Talitha Kum, train in kung-fu within the Convent of Sisters of Charity, before infiltrating the most feared gangs in Mexico as prostitutes aiming to free its young girls from sexual trafficking.
“It also has something to say about big ideas, frames local issues very well but really speaks to a universal audience, is super commercial, radical and accessible at the same time.” “Talitha Kum” continues Fabula’s mission of empowering women on and off the screen, being directed by, who burst onto the international film scene with stylish and sexual-souped coming of age tale “Young & Wild,” which won at Sundance Festival.
“Talitha Kum” targets “all demographics” who can take in its action or more profound political layers, Rivas added.“We’re ever more moved, as women, to enjoy the opportunity of creating fiction with issues that affect and interest us,” Poblete said. “The question is how.
“We’ve spent years talking about narcos and corruption, but we haven’t attention to human trafficking, the second biggest illicit business in the world,” said Poblete. “There are countries where sex slavery is an enormous sore, affecting millions of people.
