MUMBAI: Discovery Channel is launching a new series Real story of… which will premiere on 26 November and will air every Sunday at 10 pm. The series uncovers true stories behind some of the Oscar-nominated movies of recent years to separate fact from fiction.

Discover how Louis Zamperini, subject of Angelina Jolie's Unbroken, underwent his biggest transformation after the plot of the movie ended and the reality behind the movie depiction of American Sniper Chris Kyle.

Discovery Networks Asia-Pacific VP and head of premium and digital networks South Asia Zulfia Waris said, “The iconic movies featured in the series are classics that appeal to audience across the world. The series will reveal interesting facets to these stories that will surprise as well as entertain viewers. For instance, it isn’t widely known that Donnie Brasco’s character, an FBI agent (played by Johnny Depp), was supposed to be undercover for a few months and it ended up being six years.”
