Terror on the Space Station comes from Blink Films
US broadcaster PBS, Australia’s SBS and France Télévisions have all boarded documentary Terror on the Space Station, produced by UK factual indie Blink Films (The Wimbledon Killer).
In the 2×60’/1×90’ doc, astronauts who have worked aboard the International Space Station (ISS) reveal the most terrifying near-catastrophic incidents they have experienced, from gas leaks and meteor showers to spacewalk horrors and docking disasters.
It will air on PBS science strand Nova under the title Operation Space Station and will also have a theatrical release. PBS International is handling global sales and will launch the show at Mipcom.
Dan Chambers, creative director at Blink Films, said: “This documentary reveals a whole new story to the ISS, with the astronauts’ first-hand tales of survival in the most hostile environment known to humanity providing an edge-of-your-seat account of its 25-year history.”
