Titanic: The Complete Story DVD Review



Synopsis: The unsinkable Titanic was a dream come true: Four city blocks long and a passenger list worth 250 million dollars. But on her maiden voyage in April 1912, that dream became a nightmare when the giant ship struck an iceberg and sank in the cold North Atlantic. More than 1,500 lives were lost in one of the greatest disasters of the 20th century. Now, the complete sensational history of the premier liner is recounted in TITANIC: THE COMPLETE STORY. Using newsreels, stills, diaries, and exclusive interviews with survivors, TITANIC: THE COMPLETE STORY charts the fateful history of the ship and its passengers as well as providing an overview on the popular culture phenomenon that this tragedy has become.

Review: The History Channel has a great reputation of bringing us the best in documentaries and DVD releases, so its no shock that on the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic we would turn to them for a fantastic collection of themed documentaries.  This DVD collects the best of the best...

This set includes 3 feature-length programs:

DEATH OF A DREAM--The largest ship ever built is christened in Ireland before a cheering crowd of 100,000. Witness the disaster this trek becomes as numerous iceberg warnings go unheeded and the ship sinks in the icy North Atlantic.

TITANIC S ACHILLES HEEL--Elite divers explore the explosive theory that the doomed liner may have had a fatal design flaw--using advanced CGI technology, archive documents and photographs, as well as footage from modern-day HISTORY expeditions.

Interest Range: Documentary
