TV series about Josip Broz Tito airs tonight
Croatian Times
A highly-anticipated TV series about former Yugoslav leader Josip Broz "Tito" beginning this evening (Fri) was almost canceled because of disagreements between Croatian national television (HTV) and series director Antun Vrdoljak.
Vrdoljak made 12 episodes instead of the six that were specified in the agreement between the director and HTV, and uncertainty over finances called the project into question.
It cost around one million Euros and took three years to complete. It is partly a feature and partly a documentary series based on interviews of historians and people who knew Tito during their public lives.
The 78-year old director said that he had found inspiration in politics and history throughout his life. "There is also a big interest in those areas on the part of the public," he added.
Tito headed the former Yugoslavia from the end of World War II until his death in 1980.

The HRT website has a good article on the series and the large cast involved with it, as well as a brief video clip. You can view it here: http://www.hrt.hr/index.php?id=94&tx_ttnews[backPid]=23&tx_ttnews[tt_news]=65656&cHash=c910c7020 Unfortunately it seems that they are scrambling the broadcast on their satellite feed so actually watching it is not an option. Anyone know someone taping it?
