[email protected] LONDON, 17 FEBRUARY 2021 - VICE Distribution, the global distribution division of VICE Media Group, has revealed its first slate of programming for Spring following the launch of the business last year. The slate features 250 hours of new premium non-scripted content from across VICE Media Group including true crime, investigative documentary, current affairs and politics, as well as pop culture and entertainment. VICE Distribution launched in Summer 2020 with over 900 hours of documentary, lifestyle and news programming. The new Spring slate comes from producers including VICE Studios, the Sundance Grand Jury Prize winning co-producers of ‘Flee’, VICE World News, the newly-launched content hub from VICE Media Group who produce hundreds of hours of international television, digital and audio news programming for a global audience, and high-end third party producers including Icon Films, 44 Blue Productions, Railsplitter Pictures and Insight Productions. Bea Hegedus, Global Head of Distribution, VICE Studios, said: ‘Our Spring slate of premium and distinctive factual programming has international appeal and speaks to the issues and subjects which youth audiences truly care about. We look forward to bringing our unique content directly from our award-winning producers, production partners and channels to global audiences.” The brand new Spring slate features true crime series including ‘Jack the Ripper: Hidden Victims’, a new three-part documentary from VICE Studios for Channel 5 in the UK, which debunks the myths and mistruths around the Jack the Ripper murders.
