Founded in 2001, Berlin-based Context TV produces high quality non-fictional TV content, focusing on documentaries for the German and international markets. The company initially specialized in the area of scientific-historical expeditions and explorations, particularly underwater missions. . Productions in this genre include documentaries about the shipwrecks of the "Titanic" and the "Bismarck" (for ZDF and ABC/ USA, among others) as well as productions like "Project Alicia - Return to U-1195" (for ZDF, Discovery Networks Europe, WGBH-NOVA, Discovery Communications, among other) and "Exercise Tiger" (a co-production with Arte and  ABC/USA).

Context TV has working relationships with most of the important German and numerous international broadcasters. The complete production process, from the initial idea to the final touches of post-production are realized by a small and efficient team of staff employees and freelancers in Berlin. Context TV has shown interest in the project from the beginning. They were in Tromsø when the last expedition was carried out, and since 2004 they have conducted extensive research on Amundsen and the disappearance of the Latham. Several researchers, both German and Norwegian, have been working on the project.

Daniel Petry is the founder and CEO of Context TV. He is experienced in underwater productions, including documenting the discovery of the World War II battleship, Bismarck, which gave the company a solid international reputation.
