Stories travel. They cross borders, languages and generations, and right now they are crossing from the page to the screen at a remarkable pace. From classic novels to modern prize winners, producers and streamers are looking far beyond Hollywood for their next major adaptations. The result is a rich mix of genres and cultures, with projects coming out of Europe, Latin America, Asia and the Middle East. Here is a guided tour of eighteen international books that are being transformed into films and television series.

Argentina leads the list with The World Jones Made by Philip K. Dick. Titled The Future is Ours, this limited series marks the first Spanish language adaptation of one of Dick’s works. Produced for Netflix by the team behind the hit series The Eternaut, it brings the author’s sharp vision of power and prophecy to a new audience.

Brazil follows with The Pilgrimage, based on Paulo Coelho’s early novel. Directed by Vicente Amorim for Netflix, the film tracks a journey to Santiago de Compostela and a search for spiritual meaning that reflects the themes Coelho is best known for.

Canada appears twice. Emily St. John Mandel has adapted her novel Last Night in Montreal for the big screen, co writing with Semi Chellas. The film centers on a man whose life collapses after his girlfriend vanishes just as he plans to propose. Also from Canada is Flesh by David Szalay. Though still in early development, the Booker Prize winning novel is being adapted by House Productions along with BBC Film and Access, tracing one man’s life from youth to old age.

WME Independent has boarded world sales for the feature film “Muganga, The One Who Treats,” an advocacy driven drama inspired by the real life work of Nobel Peace Prize laureate Dr. Denis Mukwege. The move comes as the film continues to enjoy notable box office success in France, where strong audience response and critical praise have driven impressive ticket sales and growing demand.

Directed by French filmmaker Marie Hélène Roux, “Muganga, The One Who Treats” tells the story of Congolese doctor and pastor Denis Mukwege, who has dedicated his life to treating survivors of wartime sexual violence in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. The film follows his collaboration with Belgian surgeon and atheist Guy Cadière as the two men work together to heal thousands of women while confronting the brutal use of sexual violence as a weapon of war.
