MANILA, Philippines - Sundance Channel expands across the Philippines.
Established by Robert Redford, Sundance Channel offers audiences a diverse and engaging selection of award-winning independent films, documentaries and original programs. Offering a wide array of bold, imaginative and uncompromising programs, the network caters to independent-minded viewers seeking something different.
Sundance Channel exclusively premiered Breaking Bad across Asia for the first time last year, and the series has received praise from critics and audiences alike. Breaking Bad centers on the character of Walter White who is experiencing a mid-life crisis. When Walt discovers he is dying of lung cancer, the high school chemistry teacher develops a new sense of fearlessness. Desperate to secure his family’s financial future, he transforms from a mild-mannered family man into a drug kingpin.
In addition to winning the Emmy Award this year for Outstanding Drama, Breaking Bad has been recognized by the Screen Actors Guild Awards, Writers Guild Awards, Television Critics Association Awards, Satellite Awards, PRISM Awards, Critics Choice Television Awards, American Cinema Editors Awards and AFI Awards.
Also featured on Sundance Channel is Rectify, which explores the life of a man who is released from prison after 18 years on death row. Low Winter Sun will premiere on the channel later this year and is a contemporary story of murder, deception, revenge and corruption in a world where the line between cops and criminals is blurred. The network is also home to award-winning films such as Emma, Cold Mountain, Goodwill Hunting and Hotel Rwanda.
TV lovers and cinephiles celebrate Sundance Channel, a premium showcase for independent films and original drama series.
