BBC commissions two major geopolitical documentaries from Zinc Media Group

Zinc Media Group plc, the television and content production group, today
announces that the BBC has commissioned two major geopolitical documentary
series from its award-winning factual label, Brook Lapping.

Brexit: How Britain Voted Out (working title) marks the tenth anniversary of
the UK's vote to leave the European Union. The documentary tells the inside
story of the 2016 referendum and the political events leading up to the vote.
In the classic Brook Lapping style, the series features first-hand accounts
from those directly involved in the campaign, including David Cameron, Boris
Johnson, Nigel Farage, Michael Gove, George Osborne and Gordon Brown.

Clash of the Superpowers: America vs China examines the evolving relationship
between the United States and China and the global implications of their
economic and political rivalry. Featuring testimonies from key political
figures including Nancy Pelosi, HR McMaster, John Bolton, Jake Sullivan, Scott
Morrison, Boris Johnson and Philip Hammond, the documentary provides insight
into the decisions shaping the geopolitical landscape.

Brook Lapping is internationally recognised for its in-depth political
documentaries and has produced acclaimed series including Putin vs The
West and Israel and the Palestinians: The Road to 7 October.

Mark Browning, Chief Executive Officer, Zinc Media Group, comments:

"Norma Percy and the Brook Lapping team have an exceptional reputation for
producing authoritative documentaries that take audiences inside the rooms
where history is made, and these series continue that tradition. These
commissions reinforce our position as a trusted producer of premium factual
content for leading broadcasters."
