Limonero Films has picked up world rights to distribute Bock Saga, an original four-part true crime series produced by Finland-based Parad Media.
The cult-related series will premiere in YLE on July 27th, and it has already been pre-sold to NRK, SVT and DR.
Synopsis, Bock Saga: This four-part series follows the enigmatic and controversial story of the followers of Ior Bock, a self-proclaimed mystic whose teachings formed the Bock Saga. From Goa’s trance parties to an underground temple in Finland rumoured to contain a 20-billion-euro treasure, this series unravels a surreal journey of faith, obsession, and conspiracy. Blending real-time investigations, archival footage, and animation, Bock Saga explores what happens when myth and reality collide in the ultimate search for truth.
Axel Högström, CEO & Producer at Parad Media, said,´I am so proud to present the bizarre story of Ior Bock and his disciples to the world. We have been working on this documentary for five years now, tracing the ripples of the alternative creation myth that Bock proclaimed. The production has taken us all over the world–from the dark woods of Finland to sex parties in Berlin, to the slums of Goa, and all the way to sunny California. It is a truly compelling story that transcends both space and time! For me, Bock Saga is the ultimate proof that truth really is stranger than fiction, and I am very happy that Limonero helps us share this once-in-a-lifetime gem with the international audiences. ´
Limonero Films’ founder and CEO, Pamela Martínez Martínez, said, ‘I am very excited to be able to share this project with the world. We have been following its development for many months now and are very impressed by the final product. True crime, cults, eccentric characters, a treasure! It has all the ingredients to be a hit! ´
The boutique distributor will launch the series at Sunny Side of the Doc in La Rochelle.
