The films are currently available and began streaming at 9 a.m.<\/p>\n<p><em>Lost and Found<\/em>, directed by Academy Award-winner Orlando von Einsiedel (<em>The White Helmets<\/em>, <em>Virunga<\/em>), is a story of humanity and heroism in the world&#8217;s largest refugee camp in Myanmar. It follows Kamal Hussein, a Rohingya refugee who has dedicated his life to reuniting children with their parents.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Nightcrawlers<\/em> follows a determined group of photojournalists on their mission to chronicle the deadly battle being waged against the Philippines&#8217; drug epidemic. Directed by first-time director Alexander A. Mora, the documentary trails Raffy Lerma, a former staff photographer for a prominent newspaper, as he joins forces with a team of freelance photojournalists, or &#8220;nightcrawlers,&#8221; who are covering a wave of extrajudicial killings that, by some estimates, has claimed as many as 27,000 lives. With unprecedented access, the film also features interviews with members of a mysterious death squad that prowls the city&#8217;s back alleys in search of people they are paid to kill with impunity.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Expanding the availability of these two important documentary shorts, <em>Lost and Found<\/em> and <em>The Nightcrawlers<\/em>, will help ensure their timely and urgent stories reach a wide audience,&#8221; said Carolyn Bernstein, executive VP of global scripted programming and documentary films for National Geographic. &#8220;We are proud to be partnering with two supremely talented filmmakers to shine a light on the humanitarian crises that have resulted from the ethnic cleansing in Myanmar and the drug war in the Philippines.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>National Geographic Documentary Films is streaming its first-ever documentary shorts, Lost and Found and The Nightcrawlers, online for free beginning today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1049,"featured_media":13686,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[4427,2062,4428],"class_list":["post-13685","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-lost-and-found","tag-national-geographic-documentary-films","tag-the-nightcrawlers","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>National Geographic Documentary Films Streams Shorts - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/national-geographic-documentary-films-streams-shorts\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"National Geographic Documentary Films Streams Shorts - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"National Geographic Documentary Films is streaming its first-ever documentary shorts, Lost and Found and The Nightcrawlers, online for free beginning today.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/national-geographic-documentary-films-streams-shorts\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-11-15T15:34:39+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2019-11-15T17:14:05+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/07\/National-Geographic-logo-519.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"450\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Alison Skilton\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Alison Skilton\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/national-geographic-documentary-films-streams-shorts\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/national-geographic-documentary-films-streams-shorts\/\",\"name\":\"National Geographic Documentary Films Streams Shorts - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2019-11-15T15:34:39+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-11-15T17:14:05+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/f590d4d1481b8cce2a066e89197c7550\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/national-geographic-documentary-films-streams-shorts\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/national-geographic-documentary-films-streams-shorts\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/national-geographic-documentary-films-streams-shorts\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"National Geographic Documentary Films Streams Shorts\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/f590d4d1481b8cce2a066e89197c7550\",\"name\":\"Alison Skilton\",\"description\":\"Alison Skilton is an associate editor of World Screen.
