“Asia’s Titanic” docu by Yam Laranas on National Geographic Channel!
“Asia’s Titanic” is a 100% Filipino made documentary produced by Andrew Roque and directed by Yam Laranas. The documentary took them three years to make, which would have its premiere on the National Geographic Channel across Asia on Tuesday, August 25, 2009 at 8:00pm with replays on Wednesday, August 26, 2009 at 4:00am and 9:00am.
The documentary wanted to tell the story of the MV Doña Paz and its survivors.
December 20, 1987, just five days before Christmas, passenger ship MV Doña Paz collided with an oil tanker, MT Vector, off Mindoro Island in the Philippines. It is said that almost 5,000 passengers died in the tragedy and called the world’s worst peacetime maritime disaster.
Through dramatic first hand accounts from survivors and rescuers, transcripts from the Philippine congressional inquiry into the tragedy, archival footage and photos and a re-enactment of the collision, “Asia’s Titanic” would dissect how the Doña Paz tragedy unfolded.
After the sinking of the MV Doña Paz in 1987, sea tragedies continue to plague the Philippines.
