PBS Distribution Reveals New Documentaries on Nazi Art Theft, UFOs, and Women in WWII at Mip London

At Mip London, happening from February 23 to 27, PBS Distribution is showcasing an assortment of documentaries with a wide range of topics. This collection features captivating tales such as that of a notorious art thief in Nazi times, the enigma surrounding UFOs, and the hidden accomplishments of women during World War II.

Additional titles will be disclosed as we approach the event, with some scheduled to be highlighted during the London TV Screenings taking place from February 23rd through the 28th.

One notable title is “Plunderer: The Life and Journey of a Nazi Art Thief“, a two-part series delving into the tale of Bruno Lohse, a significant player in the Nazi artwork plundering operation. Historian Jonathan Petropoulos engages Lohse directly, as well as curators, art detectives, and relatives of families whose irreplaceable pieces were swiped.

The documentary additionally features unpublished personal correspondence and renowned artworks, providing insights into the lesser-known aspects of the international art market.

A fascinating film titled “What Are UFOs?” delves deeply into the controversial subject of mysterious aerial phenomena known as Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs). Previously considered mere conspiracy theories, these unexplained objects are now being scrutinized by scientists and government departments.

In this exclusive hour-long exploration, I delve into various plausible theories, ranging from weather phenomena, optical anomalies, clandestine military projects, or perhaps something even more enigmatic.

This compelling documentary titled “Women of World War II: The Untold Stories” sheds light on the significant but frequently unacknowledged roles women undertook during the war. It showcases personal narratives from codebreakers, aircraft builders, and the daring “Fly Girls” who put their lives on the line to assist military pilots. With unique interviews and seldom-seen footage, this film pays tribute to these unrecognized heroes and their invaluable contributions.

Joe Barrett, the VP of global sales at PBS Distribution, highlighted the importance of these upcoming events, stating, “These London events serve as priceless venues for strengthening connections with our partners, establishing new bonds, and presenting tales that enlighten, motivate, and amuse.
