Shadowland
\nPremiere Date: September 21
\nDescription: Inspired by reporting in The Atlantic magazine, award-winning filmmaker Joe Berlinger sends documentary teams across America to embed with subjects who have rejected mainstream narratives, including the shocking real-time stories of a beloved rural Pennsylvania pizza shop owner facing twenty years in prison for her role in the January 6th riots, an anti-vaccine activist pushing a dangerous fake cure for Covid-19, and a mother divorcing her husband because she fears his beliefs put their children\u2019s lives in danger. From this intimate viewpoint, Shadowland, a deeply immersive six-part docu-series, reveals how conspiracy theories have moved from the margins to the mainstream, exploring how people come to their beliefs, and what makes these theories so alluring. The series is a shocking wakeup call about the dangerous influence of conspiracy thinking on the functioning of our democracy, as families, friends, and the nation are increasingly being torn apart.

The documentary chronicles decade-long abuse, extortion, sex trafficking and forced labor told in some of the victim\u2019s own words.

\nProduced By: ITN Productions

Prince Andrew: Banished
\nPremiere Date: October 5
\nDescription: Prince Andrew: Banished unpacks the tumultuous story of how Prince Andrew, Duke of York \u2013 formerly regarded as the attractive, beloved son of Queen Elizabeth II and decorated naval officer \u2013 whose behavior antics throughout his career as a Royal brought scandal and disgrace to the 1200-year legacy of the British Royal Family. Through new interviews with palace insiders, journalists, members of Andrew\u2019s social circle, and the legal team that brought the allegations to light, the documentary takes a deep dive into the world of privilege, jealousy, desire, and greed that pushed Andrew; first, into the orbit of notorious sex offenders Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, and then into a sordid sex trafficking scandal that threatens to bring down the House of Windsor.

The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks
\nPremiere Date: October 19
\nDescription: The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks, which is based on the bestselling biography by Jeanne Theoharis and executive produced by award-winning journalist Soledad O\u2019Brien, expands the record on Rosa Parks\u2019 overlooked accomplishments and the importance of her drive and fight to overcome racial injustices and rampant inequalities. In short, what we are taught in school about Rosa Parks is a mere fraction of the full story about who she truly was.
\nDirectors Yoruba Richen and Johanna Hamilton expertly weave together interviews from academics and activists such as Bryan Stevenson, Patrisse Cullors, and Ericka Huggins, along with personal stories from her family, and remarkable footage of Mrs. Parks herself, to illuminate her decades-worth of extensive organizing, strategizing, and activism in the pursuit of Black liberation. Lisa Gay Hamilton lends her talent in the documentary as the voice of Mrs. Rosa Parks.
\nExecutive Producers: Soledad O\u2019Brien, Jo Honig, Patrick Conway, Yoruba Richen and Johanna Hamilton
\nDirectors: Yoruba Richen and Johanna Hamilton
\nProducer: Christalyn Hampton
\nProduced By: SO\u2019B Productions
