About This Program ✦
is a television programme presented as a single episode. It falls within the genre of documentary‑style investigation, aiming to examine alternative ideas about one of history’s most enduring mysteries. The episode centres on two investigators, Rob and Stefan, who set out to test the claim that the legendary sunken city of Atlantis might have been located somewhere in the Americas. Their journey takes them from the crystal‑clear waters of the Bahamas to a remote, ancient site in Louisiana, as they hunt for any tangible proof that could support the theory. Throughout the broadcast, the pair scrutinises the geographical and archaeological clues that have led some researchers to propose an American setting for Atlantis. By moving between these distinct locations, they illustrate how the hypothesis stretches across a wide swath of the continent, linking Caribbean and Gulf‑coast environments. In the closing segments, Rob and Stefan reflect on the evidence they have gathered, weighing its credibility against the conventional view of Atlantis as a Mediterranean myth. The programme thus offers viewers a concise, on‑the‑ground look at a fringe theory, presenting the investigative process without drawing any definitive conclusions.
