With the Trial of Saddam Hussein slated to happen in late Spring, alternative television program maker Planet Group Entertainment is now in production on Saddam, Master of Baghdad...The Final Chapter". Now theres a real ending.

Television program maker Planet Group Entertainment/Paris is completing production of "Saddam, The Final Chapter" based on its award winning film,"Saddam, The Master of Baghdad" which aired just prior to the start of the War in Iraq, receiving "The most viewed program of 2003" Award on Europe's Arté Channel. According to director Michel Vuillermet,"Now we can finish the story on this guy and tell the world the rest of what we know" The Final Chapter airs world-wide in June before the start of Saddam's trial. Planet Group Entertainment has a philosophy of producing "alternative programs" designed to engage, entertain and educate audiences in ways not normally expressed in more traditional television programs.

Paris, France (PRWEB) February 2, 2004 --The summer of 2002 found the Paris-based TV program maker filming in Iraq, collecting materials for a biography on Saddam including attendance at one of his Birthday parties. The One Hour Special was completed and aired internationally just before the start of the War and received high audience ratings, including the rating of most-watched program 2003" on Arté, the French/German terrestrial broadcaster.

According to award winning director Michel Vuillermet ,Our original idea for the film was to tell the story of how the guy got to be so powerful, how he managed to scare the daylights out of everyone, including most foreign governments, and why he managed to stay in power for so long. Now its time to go back and do a real ending so that people can learn more...not about how he was captured, but why. We know there were attempts made on his side to make deals, we know he was betrayed by some of his top people, we know theres more to the story than meets the eye. So what we know, we will present in the new film".

Saddam, The Final Chapter" will include exclusive interviews, revealing the real story behind his final demise and will air throughout Europe, Asia, Latin and North America in early June 2004.

Planet Group Entertainment/Paris is an international producer/distributor of television programs providing an alternative, in-depth look at history, culture and performing arts subjects around the world.
