Editor's Note
This extraordinary documentary explores the facts behind the fantastical world of THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING. Released in tandem with Peter Jackson's epic motion picture, this National Geographic special studies the origins of J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth and how the real world mirrors that magical realm. Using exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, interviews with both the filmmakers and historians, and scenes from the stunning live-action movie, this informative study is fascinating for fans of literature, history, and cinema.
