CNN on Monday revealed CNN Films, a new team that will reel in and create original documentaries to broadcast on TV, web and mobile.
The films will air during prime time on CNN — which has seen viewership significantly dip in 2012 — and CNN International, with some flicks potentially hitting theaters and film festivals.
Watch the trailer below:
