Under the Sea with Al Giddings

"The Michelangelo of the Deep Sea," the "American Cousteau," pioneer, innovator and record-breaker are just some of the words used to describe Al Giddings, four-time Emmy Award winner and one of the world's most accomplished and renowned underwater director-producer-cinematographers. Drawing from more than 30 years of deep sea diving experience--and quite possibly the most hours underwater of any human being--Giddings shares stories and scenes from a lifetime of undersea film adventures. With unprecedented access to his one-of-a-kind library of underwater footage, featuring countless television specials, documentaries, groundbreaking IMAX undersea films, and Hollywood movies like Titanic, The Abyss and The Deep, WLIW New York President and General Manager Terrel Cass speaks one-on-one with the legend to discover the fearless genius behind his breathtaking aquatic images. UNDER THE SEA WITH AL GIDDINGS premieres nationwide June 2008 on PBS (check local listings).
