Hollywood's Andrew Garfield goes in search of his roots in Who Do You Think You Are?
Survival, escape, tragedy, murder, success, glamour, beauty... Hollywood star Andrew Garfield's family history ticks all the boxes for a blockbuster in its own right.
In fact, the Spider-Man star's ancestors inspired two films - The Pianist, with Adrien Brody, and The Monuments Men, starring George Clooney.
Andrew finds himself quite overwhelmed by emotion several times as he takes part in the upcoming series of Who Do You Think You Are?
From pre-war Poland to early Hollywood - via the Treblinka Nazi death camp - it's a journey of contrasts as Andrew traces his father's Jewish family roots.
The 41-year-old finds out that some of his relatives were murdered by the Nazis, that some managed to escape and that some even made the big time during the golden age of Hollywood.
