Ghosts of the Abyss

One of the best Titanic documentaries ever made, Ghosts of the Abyss delivering a rich and interactive look at the ship’s wreckage site. With new specialized equipment, James Cameron leads an expedition to the wreckage of the Titanic and goes further into the ship than ever before. Using a blend of underwater footage superimposed with live action sage footage, the film delivers a real sense of the dimensions and feel of the ship. The film also has an added sense of poignancy, given that Cameron’s expedition coincided with the 2001 attack on the World Trade Center; presenting an interesting parallel of one disaster being explored during the mist of another. Ghosts of the Abyss is a fascinating documentary and serves as a perfect companion piece to James Cameron’s 1997 epic film, revealing the facts behind the fiction.
