A new documentary about King Michael of Romania is scheduled to air on History Channel on October 24, marking 100 years since the monarch's birth.

Regele Mihai: Drumul către casă/ King Michael: The Road Home covers the story of the king's exile, and presents recently declassified documents from the Romanian Securitate and CIA archives, according to News.ro.

The production team includes John M. Florescu – executive producer, Trevor Poots - producer/script, Viorel Chesaru – senior producer, Mircea Lăcătuş – producer archives/editor, Dan Drăghicescu – associate producer, professor Matei Cazacu – advisor and Laura Beldiman - researcher/editorial assistant.
