Zinc Media Group (LSE:ZIN), the AIM-listed television, brand and audio production group, has secured a raft of international sales through its Zinc Distribution division for "Brexit: A Very British Civil War," a two-part documentary produced by label Brook Lapping.

The series, marking the tenth anniversary of the EU referendum, features first-hand accounts from David Cameron, Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage, Michael Gove, George Osborne, Gordon Brown, and Jeremy Corbyn.

Completed deals span North America via BBC Select (including Canada and the Caribbean), BBC News Arabic, BBC Persian, BBC Ukraine, BBC Russia, and RTÉ in Ireland, with further territory discussions described as ongoing.

The announcement underlines Zinc's integrated model, in which the group produces content through its labels and distributes it internationally through its own sales arm, capturing margin at both ends of the value chain.

"This is the Zinc model working end to end, a standout series from one of our labels, selling into territory after territory through our own distribution business," said CEO Mark Browning, describing the title as "one of our most internationally significant" of the year.

Further broadcaster agreements are expected shortly.
