A fascinating new, feature-length documentary, TITANIC AT 100: MYSTERY SOLVED will take viewers on a journey to the bottom of the North Atlantic where they will investigate the remains of the most famous ship in history. Produced in conjunction with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute and RMS Titanic, Inc., this special provides the most authoritative look at the shipwreck, and is timed to the 100th anniversary of the sinking.Are you ready to go back toTitanic? After a century, is there anything we don't know or haven't seen about the most infamous maritime disaster in history that killed 1,500 people? Turns out there's plenty. This feature-length documentary, originally launched on the History Channel, literally goes deeper than any previously filmed expedition to try and answer whether the once-thought unsinkable ship had a built-in weakness or a fatal design flaw. In solving theTitanic puzzle, the distinguished team gathered by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute and RMS Titanic, Inc., sets out to make a map of the complete wreck site. Previous expeditions, one crew member notes, "have all gone to the same places, over and over again" to "get these touristy views" (Takethat, Robert Ballard and James Cameron!). The most riveting scenes are those that employ CGI to bringTitanic back to life with every missing piece intact. IfTitanic at 100 has a design flaw, it's the repetition no doubt necessitated by broadcast commercial breaks to get viewers back up to speed. Should you devise aTitanic at 100 drinking game based on the phrases "missing middle" or "fatal flaw," no doubt you'll sink faster than the 40,000-ton ship. But this is an illuminating program that offers unprecedented perspective and will enhance the collections ofTitanic buffs. Of course, the real mystery ofTitanic will never be solved: How did "My Heart Will Go On" win the Academy Award for Best Song? --Donald Liebenson
