Film Tells ‘Titanic’ Stories
A new documentary exploring the forgotten stories of the passengers and crew of RMS Titanic will be aired on Channel 4 this week. The film, titled Titanic: Our Secret Histories, is co-produced by Tourism Ireland.
Titanic: Our Secret Histories, produced by Belfast company Afro-Mic Productions, explores the untold stories of some of the passengers and crew who survived and perished in the 1912 disaster. Ahead of the 40th anniversary of the discovery of Titanic’s wreckage, viewers hear from living descendants on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, as well as world-renowned historians.
The documentary is also expected to air in other tourism markets, including North America, Germany, Spain and France, reminding audiences across the world that Belfast is the birthplace of the Titanic and an incredible place to visit.
Aidan Power, Tourism Ireland’s director of marketing, said:
“Audiences in Britain, and elsewhere around the world, are expected to watch this special documentary, which provides a fascinating insight into the untold stories of some of the passengers and crew who survived and perished. With much of the filming taking place in Belfast, viewers will no doubt be inspired to come and find out more about our incredible history and heritage.”
