Sky History’s new documentary series ‘Kursk: 10 Days That Shaped Putin’ scored by Sarah Warne will premiere 25th February at 9pm.
‘Kursk: 10 Days That Shaped Putin’ is a dramatic and forensic examination of events that took place in August 2000, after an explosion onboard the Kursk submarine trapped a group of survivors at the bottom of the Barents Sea. The two-part series questions why Russia’s military and political establishment took so long to alert Russian President Vladimir Putin—who was in his first 100 days of power—of the disaster and took days to accept international assistance while the submariners’ families desperately waited for information.
