PBS Distribution announced today it is releasing “NOVA: OPERATION LIGHTHOUSE RESCUE” on DVD. On the picturesque bluffs of Martha’s Vineyard, disaster looms. The historic Gay Head Lighthouse, weighing more than 400 tons and soaring 175 feet above the sea, is precipitously close to toppling into the ocean.
Over the years, storms and the raging ocean have eroded the headland away. With fierce storms and hurricanes only intensifying as the global climate warms, this historic landmark is precipitously close to toppling into the ocean.
Now, an epic rescue is underway as a team of engineers attempts to move the iconic red brick structure 134 feet inland to safety. As they race to save this national treasure, discover the geology they encounter, the archaeology they discover, and technology they employ in this lighthouse rescue.
NOVA: OPERATION LIGHTHOUSE RESCUE” will be available on DVD July 26, 2016. The run time of the DVD is approximately 60 minutes and its SRP is $24.99.
