Dan Reed‘s January 6 Doc ‘Stopping The Steal’ Sells Around The World
Emmy-winner Dan Reed’s documentary about the Jan 6 insurrection has sold to a wealth of networks around the world. Channel 4–Max‘s Stopping the Steal has been picked up by SBS Australia, NRK Norway, RTL Deutschland, TVNZ New Zealand, SVT Sweden, DR Denmark, Warner Bros. Discovery for HBO Max & DMAX in Iberia, TVN24 in Poland, Discovery Benelux & Nove + D+ Italy, Canal+ for French speaking Europe and Africa and Channel HOT8 and yesDocu for Israel. The doc tells the story of how Donald Trump, the former and possibly future POTUS, encouraged a band of people to subvert the U.S. constitution and storm the Capitol. The story is told from the inside by a line-up consisting entirely of Trump supporters and allies from the Vice President’s office down. Distributor Sphere Abacus struck the sales and MD Jonathan Ford said the “alarmingly topical film reveals how Trump’s conspiracy to subvert the constitution took shape, why it led to the violence of January 6th and how it was ultimately defeated.”
