Israeli production company Keshet is providing a conduit for Australian factual producers. The reasons make perfect sense, but they don ‘t come from the traditional dealmaker’s playbook.
Israeli production company Keshet had already been a major exporter of scripted content when it had a huge hit with Prisoners of War, which was reversioned as the US series Homeland. In May 2013, the company formed a joint venture with Northern Pictures, Sue Clothier’s Sydney factual television company. Its blue chip natural history series Kakadu is current screening on the ABC.
