    GRB Media Ranch announces deals for two political docs

    Mumbai: GRB Media Ranch president Sophie Ferron has announced license deals with Mediawan for France, Andorra, Dom Tom, Monaco, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Switzerland for #UNTRUTH: The Psychology of Trumpism, an important, timely political documentary as well as #UNFIT: The Psychology of Donald Trump which was licensed to Doc Alliance Films in the Czech Republic.

    #UNTRUTH: The Psychology of Trumpism is a documentary about Trumpism and the authoritarian strain that it seeded in the American political landscape, while #UNFIT: The Psychology of Donald Trump provides a searing look at the growth of white Christian nationalism in the U.S. Both docs are produced and directed by multiple Emmy award winning and Doc Shop Productions’ executive producer and president Dan Partland.

    Ferron stated: “GRB Media Ranch is thrilled to announce these deals with Mediawan and Doc Alliance Films for timely docs #UNTRUTH: The Psychology of Trumpism and #UNFIT: The Psychology of Donald Trump, respectively, especially in this highly charged political time, during which is arguably one of the most important U.S. elections in history.  At GRB Media Ranch, we’ve got stories – the most important stories!”

    GRB Media Ranch acquires three compelling political documentaries for international distribution

    Mumbai: Coinciding with the guilty verdict of the hush money/porn star payoff trial, GRB Media Ranch has announced its acquisition of #Untruth, a political documentary about the psychology of “TrumpISM” and the authoritarian strain that it seeded in the American political landscape.

    This documentary by director Dan Partland, multiple Emmy Award winning and executive producer, and president of Doc Shop Productions, accompanies two other Partland productions available through GRB Media Ranch on the topic: #Unfit: The Psychology of Donald Trump and God + Country, a look into the growth of white, Christian nationalism in the U.S.

    Released theatrically, God + Country (co-produced by Rob Reiner), opened to rave reviews in the New York Times, Christianity Today and the Hollywood Reporter and received an 88 per cent score on Rotten Tomatoes.

    Benz stated: “We acquired these programs just at the time that Donald J. Trump was found guilty by a jury of his peers. GRB Media Ranch is proud to include them in its portfolio of timely documentaries on compelling subjects produced by an acclaimed filmmaker – Dan Partland.  In a historic U.S. election year where the subjects of the films reflect the deep divisions within the nation, these riveting political documentaries are essential viewing!  At GRB Media Ranch, we get stories – riveting, topical, compelling.”

    Partland added: “Democracies around the world are under threat like we haven’t seen in 100 years.  Hopefully, yesterday’s verdict in New York is the beginning of an American recommitment to the fundamental values of liberal democracy that have been so eroded by the global wave of intolerance and authoritarianism, which is drowning our body politic.”
