BBC commissions major geopolitical documentaries

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.

"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.
