MUMBAI: Janson Media has announced its slate of programming for next month?s television trade event Mipcom 2011, to be held from 3-6 October in Cannes, France.

The company is at Mipcom for the 23rd consecutive year. ?Crossing Borders? is a new feature documentary that follows four Moroccan and four American university students as they travel together through Morocco and, in the process of discovering ?The Other,? discover themselves. Although filmed in an MTV ?Real World?-style, the documentary looks at serious real-world issues, and was produced in anticipation of the 10th anniversary of 9/11.

?The Wereth Eleven? is a riveting new docudrama narrated by Corey Reynolds. It recounts the heroic battle waged by the African American 333rd Field Artillery Battalion against the massed attacking German army at the start of the Battle of the Bulge and the dramatic escape made by 11 men of Battery C. They were soon after captured and massacred at Wereth, Belgium by Hitler?s most ruthless soldiers, the SS.

 
?USS Franklin: Honor Restored? is a documentary which tells the complete story, for the first time, of ?The Ship That Wouldn?t Die,? the aircraft carrier that survived a direct hit by a Japanese armor-piecing bomb just 50 miles off the coast of Japan in March 1945. In an instant the crew?s lives were changed forever and the events that followed would make the story of ?Big Ben? one of the most dramatic and inspiring in naval history. The film is narrated by actor Dale Dye (Saving Private Ryan).

?Harvest Eating with Keith Snow? is a new lifestyle series about food with celebrity chef Keith Snow that is entertaining, inspiring, and informative, featuring engaging interviews, easy-to-follow recipes, on-location segments at local farms and produce markets, and of course, healthy and delicious food.
