WILD REPUBLIC

Shooting is underway at locations in NRW, Bavaria and South Tyrol until July 2020 for the eight-part high-end adventure series, WILD REPUBLIC, which is being directed by the Student Oscar^®-winner Lennart Ruff and Markus Goller.

Described as a “Lord of the Flies set in the mountains”, the series centers on a group of young offenders taking part in a rehabilitation program trekking through the Alps as an alternative to being sent to prison. When one of the program’s leaders is found murdered, the group is initially confronted with a dilemma since they have little faith in receiving fair treatment from the authorities and justice system – until they decide to press ahead up into the mountains. When they find seemingly abandoned caves, they establish their own independent wild republic.
