Spanish TV giant Mediapro Group and Vice Studios have sealed an alliance to co-develop and co-produce original scripted TV series, kicking-off with project “Border Republic.”
“Republic,” as recounted by Vice, is set on the border between U.S. and Mexico, in Matamoros and Brownsville, two cities that share the same culture, being in different countries.
In the context of the construction of the U.S.-Mexico wall, the series will narrate “the transformation of a character that gives us hope that this community and culture won’t be split in half,” both companies said in a statement.
The series production will take place throughout the natural landscapes of the border, starting in 2019. It will feature the narrative imprint and visual style of Vice’s documentary series.
“This is the first of many scripted projects that we’ll be developing from Vice Studios Latam in the coming years,” said Vice Latam & U.
