In association with Children's Television Workshop and IF/X Productions,
CineGroupe will be producing 40 half-hour episodes of SAGWA, THE CHINESE
SIAMESE CAT for PBS KIDS. The series is adapted from the award-winning
children's book by Amy Tan, author of THE JOY LUCK CLUB. SAGWA follows the
title character's escapades through Ancient China. Each episode will
include 11-minute segments and related interstitials woven together by
music, folk stories and fairy tales. The executive producers of the project
are Gemini Award winner Jacques Pettigrew and Emmy Award winner George
Daugherty. Tan, and original illustrator for the SAGWA novel, Gretchen
Schields, will served as creative consultants on the show. CineGroupe and
CTW will distribute the series worldwide.
