The Mystery of Britannic

"The Mystery of Britannic" - a historical docudrama that reveals a unique scenery on the terrible fate of the sister ship of the famous Titanic, whose final destiny was to be lost while at sea. The project presents the on-screen combination of re-enacted historical events intertwined with the scientific underwater documentary.

Nelly shares her heart-piercing story of a courageous voyage aboard of the legendary Britannic - an ill-fated ocean liner, converted into the military hospital ship, bound for a shattering demise. One of the most famous shipwreck researchers, Richard Kohler, whose expertise and knowledge of the Britannic history developed into the life-long passion, helps the viewer to clearly apprehend the documentary materials.
