Drain the Oceans
The Wild West  

Hollywood’s version of the Wild West is pure fiction. So what was frontier life really like?

 

The wreck of a 19th Century steamboat yields case after case of expensive Champagne; the Little Bighorn battleground sheds light on the true nature of General Custer’s defeat; and a crumbling Californian mining town reveals a major part of its society is almost forgotten. The real Wild West was a far more complex and diverse place than the movies reveal.

Combining undersea exploration with innovative visualisations, Drain The Oceans reveals hidden evidence of amazing undersea mysteries. Not ‘artists impressions’ but what is actually there – down to the very last rivet. And, for it’s fourth season, it embraces a gripping new style, telling stories purely through the words of explorers and archaeologists, putting viewers right by their side.
