We are thrilled to announce "Radio Free Europe" (created by Brigitte Drodtloff) as the winner of the European Series Development Award 2026 🏆 The jury said of the project: "Driven by experienced producers behind a truly organic co-production, this series brings a chapter of not-so-distant history vividly to life. Combining sensitivity with striking contemporary relevance, it tells its story through a woman who finds herself becoming a voice for truth and freedom, while its music of joy and protest, and the radio waves they ride upon, carry hope and resistance across borders and generations." The award is part of a joint initiative with the Council of Europe, championing independent European storytelling, cross-border collaboration, and drama that reflects our shared cultural and democratic values.
