How it went

01

The brief

Meridian Current Affairs had an explosive investigative story spanning three continents but lacked the production infrastructure, broadcast relationships, and episodic format expertise to turn their research into a television-ready series.

02

What we did

M3CA structured the raw investigation into a six-part episodic arc, writing episode briefs that balanced journalistic rigour with narrative tension. M3CA's production team conducted 42 filmed interviews across seven countries over 11 weeks, operating under strict legal and editorial protocols throughout. The post-production suite delivered broadcast-grade colour grade, sound mix, and compliance-cleared masters for each episode. M3CA's distribution team pitched to five broadcasters simultaneously, resulting in a competitive acquisition process.

What happened
