No overview found
This unusual film, narrated by Orson Welles, records the day-by-day events in the lives of six oceanauts who, in an unique experiment, spent 27 days 328 feet below the surface of the Mediterranean. The experiment originated with the French scientist and explorer, Jacques-Yves Cousteau, on whose work the idea of oceanic exploration is based. The film shows the preparation and training needed for the expedition and the working conditions both inside and outside Conshelf Three, a specially made steel bubble which served as home and laboratory.

In BECOMING COUSTEAU, from National Geographic Documentary Films, two-time Academy Award®-nominated filmmaker Liz Garbus takes an inside look at Cousteau and his life, his iconic films and inventions, and the experiences that made him the 20th century’s most unique and renowned environmental voice — and the man who inspired generations to protect the Earth.

Pyroclastic flows (also known as a pyroclastic cloud or pyroclastic wave) are the devastating result of some volcanic eruptions. They are fluid bodies, composed of hot gas and pyroclasts (gray and stone) that can travel at speeds of up to 160 km per hour. In this case, the eruption is Cinema Marginal and the pyroclastic flows are called Ozualdo R. Candeias.
