Exclusive: Concourse Media has acquired worldwide sales rights to In the Eye of the Storm, a six-part documentary series about lightning rod economist, whistleblower and politician Yanis Varoufakis, who famously resigned from his post as Greece’s minister of finance in 2015.
During his struggle to resolve the debt crisis in the most bankrupt nation in Europe, he befriended and battled with political heavyweights including Emmanuel Macron, Christine Lagarde, Wolfgang Schäuble, Bernie Sanders, Angela Merkel and Barack Obama.
Since his clashes with some of the mightiest institutions on the planet, Varoufakis – celebrated by some, vilified by others – is now a recognizable political figure in the western world and a frequent talking head on news stations including the BBC and CNN. His memoir, Adults In The Room, was named by The Guardian as one of the top 100 most important books of the 21st Century.
Throughout the series, Varoufakis reflects on the challenges faced by the European Union,...

Hot Docs has wrapped its 11-day hybrid edition, handing out three more cash prizes, announcing audience top picks, and tipping the hat to the 225 films from 63 countries that screened during the festival.
The animated documentary “Eternal Spring,” by Jason Loftus, won the Rogers Audience Award for Best Canadian Documentary, which comes with Cdn. 25,000 cash, and also claimed the top spot in the overall audience poll of cinemagoers and online doc-watchers.
“Eternal Spring,” which had its North American premiere at Hot Docs and has racked up other awards this year at European festivals, mixes 3D and new live footage to trace the story of comic-book illustrator Daxiong, a Falun Gong practitioner, who fled China after police began cracking down on members of the outlawed spiritual group.

It was an April Fool's Day prank that didn't pass the smell test, but that didn't stop Shally Zomordi of Fox 5 San Diego from falling for it anyway.
Zomordi reluctantly added another clip to her highlight reel last week, when her co-anchor, Raoul Martinez, convinced her to sniff -- and then lick -- an iPad screen.
Guess we can scratch at least one name off of the "Who'll Replace Katie Couric?" list.
Watch Zomordi really stick her nose in it below.

Good rule of thumb: if somebody urges you to lick your iPad--and you happen to be on live television--just assume it's a gag. That's probably what Kswb morning anchor Shally Zomorodi would tell you after her co-anchor Raoul Martinez punked her on air Friday. San Diego morning show viewers were treated to Martinez pretending to describe an amazing new iPad app that allowed users to "smell" and "taste" food right on their tablet.
