Shot by amateur photographer Harold Schenck and never seen by government investigators in 1937, Hindenburg has remained essentially unknown until recently. The stunning footage of the Hindenburg’s final moment starts earlier than in the other famous newsreel films - and it was shot from an entirely new angle that shows the entire length and breadth of the eight-hundred-foot-long airship. It’s also the only known footage of the Hindenburg in the air before it crashes in flames. A team of crash investigators, historians, and scientists has come together to reexamine the case of the airship Hindenburg with the new film evidence in hand.

The tranquillity of Montserrat, an island paradise in the Caribbean, is shattered in 1995 when the Soufriere Hills erupt for the first time in recorded history. The eruption takes the population of Montserrat by surprise. Scientists flock to the island and closely monitor the volcano over the next two years. Evacuations take place and an exclusion zone is mapped out. Then at 12:45pm on June 25th 1997 two years after the first eruption a massive tremor rocks the mountain. A plume of hot ash and steam soon spews into the air; reaching 45,000 feet in a matter of minutes and shrouding half the island in darkness. There follows 25 minutes of violent activity. When the ash finally settles many hours later, a scene of total devastation is revealed; many villages are buried and 19 people are dead. Many others are lucky to be alive. Montserrat is scandalised by the deaths and an investigation gets underway to discover how and why the deaths occurred.

Legends of lost civilizations have captivated people throughout time. During the Age of Discovery, explorers searched the Pacific in vain for a mysterious land they called "terra incognita" or "unknown land." To this day, the elders on Easter Island claim their ancestors came from a continent called Hiva, believed to have sunk after a great disaster. Now, new scientific evidence points to a remote island chain in Polynesia as the center of an ancient, thriving civilization. For over 400 years these islands have been known as the Marquesas Archipelago, but before that the native Polynesians called them simply "The Isles of Hiva". Could they be a remnant of the lost continent of Hiva? Using new archeological and geological evidence together with oral tradition and voyaging techniques passed down for centuries, we are unveiling The Lost Continent Of The Pacific: a world of water and exploration, of human sacrifice and epic voyagers who had settled the largest ocean on Earth centuries before Columbus reached America.
