Partners In Motion has an excellent record of producing top-notch programming that is commercially viable as well. It's a perfect match." This collaboration will significantly expand Partners In Motion's existing library of over 200 hours of completed programs, which are currently licensed worldwide by their international sales agent, the National Film Board of Canada. The company's programs include such series as Crime Stories, Disasters of the Century, Emmy® award winning 13 Seconds: The Kent State Shootings, Very Odd Jobs and Escape From Iran: The Hollywood Option. Partners in Motion will apply its award-winning production expertise to the UCLA Film and Television Archive's valuable and unique holdings, appealing to new audiences and presenting rarely seen footage. One of the first projects for consideration is the 27 hours of preserved Hearst Metrotone newsreels documenting the decade preceding World War II.
