Clipperton: The Island Time Forgot
In 1917, a Pacific isle's sole residents were women and children terrorized by a violent man after their captain's death. Decades later, Cousteau explores this true horror through a survivor's childhood memories. Today, the only inhabitants of this environmentally inhospitable Pacific island are birds and crabs. Yet over 80 years ago, Clipperton hosted other visitors: a demented rapist and a terrified group of women and children. Cousteau returns to the island to recreate the deadly series of events - from the death of the brave French captain to the courage of the widow who killed her torturer - through the eyes of one of the survivors, then a child. —Anonymous
