(TSXV:TBRD) (OTCQX:THBRF) (\u201cThunderbird\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d) is proud to announce the development of a premium scripted drama series based on the father of the American Space Program and former Nazi scientist Wernher Von Braun, entitled <em>Von Braun: Dreamer of Space, Engineer of War<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The series is based on Canadian author Michael J. Neufeld\u2019s definitive biography about Von Braun, a man who became an American hero, who was also one of the most controversial people ever to join NASA.\u00a0 Like Von Braun, the United States shared a vision for space travel, which led to the decision to bring the controversial German V-2 Rocket builder to work at NASA after World War II. The result was a complex, often uncomfortable alliance that culminated in Neil Armstrong successfully landing on the moon in 1969.<\/p>\n<p>Leading the creative is Simon Barry (<em>Warrior Nun, Continuum, Bad Blood<\/em>), who is also attached as an Executive Producer, writer and director through his production company Reality Distortion Field (RDF). Thunderbird\u2019s President Mark Miller will also Executive Produce on behalf of Great Pacific Media. Thunderbird and Miller acquired the book\u2019s intellectual property (IP) from the Smithsonian Institution in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithout Von Braun and his team of engineers, America would have lost the space race to the Russians,\u201d says Mark Miller, President of Thunderbird. \u201cThis fascinating story is about whitewashing the history of men who played a major role in engineering the Nazi regime.\u00a0 At the centre, Von Braun and an American government were desperate to win the space race at all costs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thunderbird has selected the story of Von Braun to launch its new initiative to develop dramatic scripted content that is based on real events through Great Pacific Media.\u00a0 The Space Race is a globally uplifting story, while the work of Nazi engineers is a murderous stain on history. \u00a0This series will explore Von Braun\u2019s childhood dreams of interplanetary travel and dramatize the choices he made to fund his rockets, his vision for World War II Germany, and later, the United States.\u00a0 After being Hitler\u2019s greatest hope to destroy London, Von Braun became an American space pioneer who would win America\u2019s National Medal of Science, while avoiding the war crime courts of Nuremberg.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe story of Von Braun is set to be a breakthrough television event with global reach,\u201d continued Miller. \u201cHe was a man caught between morality and progress \u2013 glorified as a visionary and vilified as a war criminal.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cVon Braun: Dreamer of Space, Engineer of War\u201d &#8211; the controversial story of the father of America\u2019s space program is being adapted for television.\u00a0 &nbsp; Vancouver, Canada, November 17, 2020 \u2013 Great Pacific Media, the factual division of Thunderbird Entertainment Group Inc.
