Nat Geo Presents Doc Companion to George Clooney’s The Monuments Men

WASHINGTON, D.C.: Ahead of the theatrical release of George Clooney's The Monuments Men, National Geographic Channel is showcasing a documentary companion to the feature film that tells the true story of the events that took place.

Hunting Hitler's Stolen Treasures: The Monuments Men sheds light on an unlikely unit of middle-aged art scholars that rescued thousands of years' worth of European art and culture from Nazi-occupied Europe. The one-hour special, which will broadcast on February 5 at 8 p.m., features the personal accounts of a surviving member of the actual Monuments Men unit, as well as interviews with expert historians and family members, and candid conversations with the A-list actors who appear in the movie. The doc uses extensive archive video and photographs, journals and letter extracts, along with exclusive footage from the feature film.

Hunting Hitler's Stolen Treasures: The Monuments Men is produced for National Geographic Channel by October Films.
