SBS International’s TV series adapted by Germany’s ZDF
Fleeing – The Experiment is the most recent adaption of the award-winning Australian unscripted format, acquired by Doclights, one of the leading documentary producers in Germany, in 2012. It follows TV2 Denmarks re-version titled Send Dem Hjem (Send Them Home) which premiered in February this year.
The new series sees six Germans, all with firm views on the immigration debate, set out on a unique journey which fundamentally changes their views on asylum and refugee issues.
