Papua New Guinea: The Center of Fire

Tranquil and lush, Papua New Guinea seems a world removed from modern conflict. But its beauty hides a violent past; Papua New Guinea was the scene of some of the most furious clashes of World War II. The Cousteau team explores undersea relics of that war as they investigate Japanese ships, a biplane, and Black Jack, a downed American B-17. On land, eyewitnesses share their memories, and the team is welcomed to the village where natives rescued the Black Jack crew. Joseph Campanella narrates.
