Titanic: Birth of a Legend

Overview:

The "Titanic" was considered a masterpiece of modern merchant shipbuilding at the beginning of the 20th century. The documentary "Titanic" traces the history of the giant transatlantic liner. In a combination of historical photos and films, graphics, computer animations and play scenes, it is told from the perspective of those who built the ship. This not only provides an insight into shipbuilding in those days, but also into the social and political conditions within which the people involved in the Northern Irish shipbuilding industry operated shortly before the outbreak of the First World War.
