In time for the twenty five year anniversary and cinema re-release in February 2023 of James Cameron’s Titanic, actress-turned-filmmaker Alexandra Boyd reconnects with actors she worked with on one of the last epic Hollywood blockbusters. Reading from diaries she asked them to write in 1997, they share untold memories of auditions, life on set and what it has been like to be a small part of the biggest movie of all time. Their stories intertwine with interviews with super fans talking about their obsession and deep love for the film as Alexandra seeks to find out why this film has captivated so many minds, hearts and imaginations for so many years.
