Azorian: The Raising of the K-129

Subnuts · 05-19-15, 10:42 PM

Anybody else seen this? I tend to avoid most submarine documentaries because they tend to be over-dramatic and full of errors. I saw it the other night (it was free with my Amazon Prime account) and I was genuinely shocked and how serious and intelligent it was. I read the book by Norman Polmar when it came out in 2010, but forgot that there was a companion documentary. Lots of in-depth discussion of the hardware and the recovery operation, recently unclassified footage, interviews with surviving participants, no nutty conspiracy theories, and some really cool CGI recreations of the actual raising attempt.

It's a little dry in places, but if you have an hour and forty minutes to burn, it's worth the watch.
