Documentaries
With nearly 300 million views, The Day Israel Attacked America (Al Jazeera) is one of the most watched documentaries ever. On a sunny afternoon during the Six Days War, the Israelis block the emergency frequencies, then attack the USS Liberty, an American spy ship, killing 34 and injuring 170. They fire cannon from the jets, drop napalm, machine gun the liferafts and fire torpedoes. For decades, they claim it is a case of mistaken identity. The audio tape of the communications between the pilots and their commanders - broadcast here for the first time - shows they know this is an American ship before and throughout the attack.

Egypt Week Live from the Valley of the Golden Mummies in the western desert with Mike Rowe (Discovery in the USA and Channel 5 in the UK). The valley is a huge necropolis from a trading post linking Egypt with what is now Libya. Being at the heart of an international trading network, the locals become very wealthy and paint their coffins Transmitting live by satellite from the desert at 3am every morning presented a huge range of challenges - technical, emotional and physical - but nothing can compare to the excitement of being 60 feet underground, broadcasting live and not knowing what - if anything - you will find.
