Embedding climate storytelling in programmes is many things… it can be explicit, it can be subtle, it is most certainly nuanced, but above all it is important. Rising to the challenge of helping tell these stories are the producers behind a wave of factual entertainment shows that are entertaining, educating and informing all at the same time.
As part of BAFTA and BAFTA albert’s Green Light series, on sustainability in the industry, Tom Beck, Head of Live Events and Commissioning Editor, Reality & Entertainment at Channel 4, led a panel at Sheffield DocFest on how factual entertainment producers are finding creative and innovative ways to bring sustainability into their content without it feeling “preachy” or forced.
