National Geographic Channel's ShowReal Asia presents "Asia's Titanic"
A milestone for Filipino Filmmakers—“Asia’s Titanic,” directed by Yam Laranas would be the very first Filipino-made full length documentary for the National Geographic Channel. “Asia’s Titanic” tells the tragic story of the passenger ship MV Doña Paz.
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.
During a media preview of the documentary, director Yam Laranas clarified that “Asia’s Titanic” is not an investigative report. It doesn’t aim to find out who’s to blame for the tragedy. Instead, the team behind the first Filipino-made National Geographic Channel documentary wanted to tell the story of the MV Doña Paz and its survivors.
Producer Andrew Roque and director Yam Laranas, said that it took them three years to make the said documentary, which would premiering 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.
