By investing in bold, distinctive productions that speak to the interests of broadcasters, streamers and viewers alike, Autentic Distribution continues to strengthen its position as a leading force in factual programming. Its mission remains clear: to inform, inspire and engage audiences across the globe with stories that matter.

Game Over: The Fall of Credit Suisse

Credit Suisse no longer exists, even though it was “too big to fail” and had built its reputation over a century. How could this happen? This documentary reveals what was hidden behind the reputable image of the major Swiss bank: a corporate culture of high risk and greed, accepting huge losses as long as the bonuses kept coming in. (4 × 45 min. / 1 x 104 min.)

American Amazon

This is a journey into North America’s last secret wilderness, a biodiversity hotspot buzzing with stories, from the mass migration of the swallow-tailed kite, the cryptic behavior of the black bear, and the silent steps of the Florida panther. It’s a world where mysteries still lurk in every corner of the swamp. (2 × 52 min.)

Sum of All Cities

Cities are defined by numbers – from the amount of shrimp eaten in Las Vegas, the number of bird species in Panama City, or cosmetic surgery rates in Seoul. By themselves, they’re just statistics. But look behind a number and you’ll find a story, which leads to another number… and before you know it, you’ve got the sum of a city. (8 × 52 min.)

Animal Within 2

Science may strive to build perfect machines, but none match those forged by nature. The hidden blueprints of the animal kingdom reveal engineering at its finest. Beneath the hoods of majestic beasts lie specs too extraordinary to invent: physiological marvels that let creatures adapt, endure, hunt, collaborate, and move as if invisible.  (6 × 52 min.)

My Holy Car – An Obsession Made in Germany

More than a machine, the car is Germany’s great love story. Despite the climate crisis and overcrowded cities, the number of vehicles keeps rising. This documentary explores our relationship with cars – between fascination, fetish and contradiction. VW, Audi and BMW offer rare insights into their tricks of emotional seduction. How realistic is it to say goodbye to this status symbol? (1 x 52 min. / 1 x 90 min.)  

Independence Dawn – The Forgotten Revolution

Marking the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, this documentary uncovers the untold stories of everyday revolutionaries — women, Black soldiers, spies, farmers and youth — often excluded from freedom’s promise. Through William French, a Massachusetts farmer turned soldier, it reveals how ideals clashed with harsh realities, asking: whose liberty was truly won in America’s founding revolution? (2 × 45 min., 1 x 90 min.)
