MUMBAI: Discovery Channel will premiere a special programme titled Pearl Harbour Declassified on 6 December 2015 at 8 pm.
The programme will provide viewers with a dramatic look at the first 15 minutes of the bombing in Pearl Harbor and its aftermath.
The programme will showcase the images of the first wave of the attack, combining rare aerial film taken by Japanese attackers with home movie footage captured from the harbor by a navy doctor. The film will take viewers from the shocking arrival of the Japanese aircraft over the harbor on 7 December 1941 to when a single 1750-pound bomb destroyed the USS Arizona.
The analysis of the film will utilise new stabilisation techniques to provide a frame by frame timeline of events that builds into a mosaic of chaos, courage and inspiration, telling the real behind the scene story of the incident which has never been told before.
The programme will intertwine interviews with the survivors of the attack aboard the historic battleships, recalling their personal horror of that day of infamy. The programme will also provide a guided underwater tour by the National Park Service revealing the secrets of the USS Arizona as it lays to rest in the harbor.
