Tito is a 2010 Croatian documentary television miniseries about Yugoslav leader Josip Broz Tito. The first episode aired March 19, 2010.[1]

The series is a co-production by Croatian Radiotelevision and Mediteran film. The two first collaborated on the series Long Dark Night, which at a top audience of 1.8 million viewers was one of the most-watched domestic productions in history.[2] After the announcement of the documentary, Broz's granddaughter Saša announced that she and her family would use all means possible to obstruct filming.[3] Tito cost a reported 1 million euros to make.[4]

Cast

Reception

The first episode of Tito was seen by 800,000 viewers,[5] recording a rating of 22.6 and a share of 49.9.[6] However, the number of viewers dropped sharply thereafter, and the 11th episode had a rating of just 8.3.[6]
