First international format deal of Go Back To Where You Came From set to air in Denmark

A Danish version of Cordell Jigsaw Zapruder’s award-winning factual series Go Back To Where You Came From will be the first in a long list of international versions to go to air.

Called Send Dem Hjem, or Send Them Home, the Danish version was filmed over 25 days through Afghanistan, Turkey, Greece and Danish immigration camps and will go to air on network TV2 from Thursday.

The production from Cordell Jigsaw first aired on SBS in 2011. It later won one of the most prestigious awards in global television – the Rose D’Or.

Nick Murray, CEO of Australian production company CJZ, said: “While the accolades are always celebrated and appreciated, knowing Australian ideas are then experienced by viewers around the globe is especially rewarding. Clearly the refugee crisis is a global one and the Go Back format allows the story to be told from a local perspective.”
