The
Final Hours: In the 1930s, Amelia Earhart was one of the most famous women in the world, and then suddenly she was gone, having disappeared over the South Pacific. The remarkable aviator, the first woman to fly nonstop across the Atlantic, had embarked on a hugely ambitious journey, a flight around the world at the Equator. This documentary follows a team who restored a Lockheed airplane similar to Earhart's and flew it on the same route.... This production makes it clear just how difficult Earhart's last journey truly was, and details about her trouble-plagued voyage naturally give rise to speculation about where and how she and her navigator disappeared.
