Nat Geo drops trailer for brilliant new series from Stern & Wild filmmaker Tom Beard

Nat Geo has released the official trailer for Tom Beard’s riveting new six-part docuseries NAMING THE DEAD which captures the relentless pursuit by an extraordinary group of people to name and seek justice for some of the 50,000 unidentified bodies found in the United States.

Produced by Wall to Wall for Nat Geo, the project has been a true labour of love for Series Director Tom who was brought in at the very outset to create the style, tone and look of this ambitious production. Huge congratulations to Tom on the amazing result of almost two years’ hard work from first conception to final edit. It looks fantastic.

With unprecedented access to active investigations, the series tells the stories of six unforgotten victims as it follows the groundbreaking work of the non-profit DNA Doe Project, a voluntary group of scientists, investigators and researchers who use investigative genetic genealogy to help law enforcement crack some of the country’s most confounding cold cases.

The series launches in the US on the Nat Geo channel on 2 August and will be available to stream on Disney+ and Hulu the following day.
