Autentic Distribution has inked sales for programmes of its fall and winter slate, which was first launched at Mipcom 2021. National Geographic has pre-bought "Colossal Machines" (6x45’), the six-part series that reveals mechanical secrets that not only made them work, but also changed the world in a big way.

"Colossal Machines" is produced by Go Button Media and Autentic’s own production unit.
