Banijay Rights has shopped Workerbee’s true-crime documentary series The Promise: Finding My Mother’s Killer to Hulu in the U.S.
It marks the first deal for the Banijay UK label Workerbee series, a 3 x 60’ true-crime documentary centred around the decades-long quest of Iranian-American Pooneh Entezari. A rags-to-riches story of a daughter who has spent over 30 years working to pursue her mother’s case. Ultimately, she spent millions of her hard-earned fortune to fund an investigation into the person who killed her mother and to clear her father’s name in the process. Her story was first told by Douglas Perry at The Oregonian/OregonLive. The series is produced in association with Advance Originals & Circle M+P.
Michelle Chappell, MD for Workerbee Group, said: “This is an extraordinary and deeply moving story of one woman’s unwavering determination to bring her mother’s killer to justice. We had the privilege of following Pooneh’s journey over many years, never knowing where her search for the truth would lead. Her courage and persistence uncovered compelling evidence, revealing a story that is both a gripping investigation and a haunting portrait of an American dream that descended into tragedy.”
