Welcome to Off the Fence!

It’s still us, we promise, although you may have noticed we look a little different... As our CEO Bo
Stehmeier likes to put it: “We’ve put some lipstick on.”

We hope you like our new look and feel, which extends to a refreshed and redesigned website to
better showcase our programming. As always, we’re offering a diverse range of new content, ranging
from History’s Ultimate Influencers and Queens of Ancient Egypt from our Yesterday portfolio to stunning
natural-history titles like The Giant Bears of Alaska.

As you know, Off the Fence isn’t afraid to be bold and talk about the things that matter — not just to
us but the whole planet. We hope you’ll take a look at The Letter: A Message for our Earth, inspired by
Pope Francis’ second encyclical, in which he calls for the people of the world to take unified action
against global warming. Also exploring the climate crisis is The Endangered Generation?, narrated by
Jurassic Park star Laura Dern, which challenges the myth that the world is driven by selfishness and
competition.

Looking for something with potential for collaboration? We have a wide selection of titles both in
production and in development. One of our most exciting new projects is Giants!, a five-part series
about the planet’s largest creatures, past and present. It’s fronted by brilliant wildlife filmmaker Dan
O’Neill, who calls on a team of experts and incredible CGI to explore and explain the links between
extinct monsters and present-day behemoths.

If animals aren’t your thing, what about archaeology? We can help you there too. Why not check out
our new documentary The Great Assyrian Empire and discover one the world’s first superpower that
stretched between Egypt, Kuwait and Turkey.

From ancient queens to today’s climate emergency, from the Pope to giant bears — when we say we
have something (factual) for everyone, we’re not exaggerating.

Come and find out for yourself. We’d love to show you.
