MUMBAI: Alfred Haber Distribution has reached a deal with Italy's Lux Vide to distribute the mini-series Mother Teresa in Latin America and the Caribbean. It has also notched up deals in some 120 markets for the upcoming Latin Grammy Awards, says a release.
Starring Olivia Hussey and shot on location in Sri Lanka and Italy, the 2x2-hour production chronicles Mother Teresa's life.
According to Alfred Haber, "We have already received an extraordinary response in Latin America to the Mother Teresa miniseries".
