DESCRIPTION:
(from PBS's press release, September 2015) PBS and Ideate Media announced today a new collaboration with Emmy-winner Ed Redlich ("The Practice," "Shark," "Unforgettable") and Ridley Scott's production company Scott Free to bring the acclaimed best-seller The Island at the Center of the World to life on PBS. The project adds to PBS' growing portfolio of original dramas in development and is the latest in a series of high-profile projects from Ideate Media. The Island at the Center of the World is a narrative history of New York City's origins as the Dutch-founded city of New Amsterdam, on the tip of Manhattan Island. New Amsterdam predated the "original" 13 colonies, but it nonetheless seems strikingly familiar: a cosmopolitan and multi-ethnic enclave whose citizens valued free trade, individual rights and religious freedom. |
