TITANIC: THE FINAL WORD WITH JAMES CAMERON, National Geographic Channel (NGC) and National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence James Cameron have released new animation created by the company that executed the image capture in the 2009 movie Avatar , that demonstrates exactly how the Titanic sank.
Using a never-before-seen stress model and forensic evidence, Cameron and some of the world’s leading Titanic experts make a revealing discovery concerning whether the ship reached its breaking point before it was completely vertical (as the event was originally depicted in Cameron’s 1997 blockbuster Titanic). Working backwards from the shipwreck on the ocean floor, new animation provides the most accurate picture of how the ship broke apart and why its remains are scattered.

IN 1962 FOUR YOUNG MEN JOHN LENNON, PAUL McCARTNEY, GEORGE HARRISON AND RINGO STARR CAME TOGETHER TO FORM THE 20TH CENTURY MUSICAL PHENOMENON KNOWN AS, “THE BEATLES.” The band stormed Europe in 1963, and, in 1964, they conquered America. Their groundbreaking world tours changed global youth culture forever and, arguably, invented mass entertainment as we know it today. All the while, the group were composing and recording a series of extraordinarily successful singles and albums…
The most comprehensive documentary of the greatest band ever!

Freddie Mercury was known for his flamboyant stage persona and four-octave vocal range – the lead singer of Queen defied the conventions of a typical rock frontman. He paved the way for many contemporary artists to have a more confident and theatrical act which indelibly shaped the next generation of pop and rock music. From working as a baggage handler at Heathrow airport to hiding his HIV diagnosis from the public until just before his death, Mercury’s life was filled with adventure, publicity, and perhaps above all, a clear duality. He was both flamboyant and shy, outspoken and intensely private. The illness that claimed his life could never have defined Freddie, and now, years later, his legacy is greater than he could have ever imagined.
