Tel Aviv, Israel – Armoza Formats’ factual format Connected is seeing new commissions from broadcasters in Europe and Asia. India’s ZEE TV has commissioned a 65-episode series that will debut June 2, and will air daily. The show will enable six Indian women to open their lives to the public, and is expected to make local history, as it will see the first LGBT activist to ever appear on Indian television. In Estonia, a first season has been commissioned by Kanal 2 for a 30-episode run now in production.
Connected is the self-filmed journey of five women/men who don’t know each other, but whose lives become connected thematically in the series. The participants range in age from teens to mid-forties, and capture a wide range of life experience and personal and social issues, creating a time capsule of what it is like to live in this year, in this place, as a woman/man. Through the cameras, five parallel stories unfold as each woman experiences transformative life changes and voyages of self-discovery.
CEO Avi Armoza said, “We’re thrilled at the continued success of CONNECTED as it reaches out to new territories and brings to the screen a fascinating look at the intimate lives of real people across the globe. With its unique language of self-exposure, it enables to bring something more real than any other docu or factual series, and that has created true value to the audiences and the broadcasters alike.”
