In the 1930s, Amelia Earhart was one of the most famous women in the world, and then suddenly she was gone, having disappeared over the South Pacific. The remarkable aviator, the first woman to fly nonstop across the Atlantic, had embarked on a hugely ambitious journey, a flight around the world at the Equator. This documentary follows a team who restored a Lockheed airplane similar to Earhart's and flew it on the same route. Stunning shots of the vintage plane against golden skies are accompanied by readings from the surprisingly literary dispatches Earhart had sent from stops along her 1937 final flight. This production makes it clear just how difficult Earhart's last journey truly was, and details about her trouble-plagued voyage naturally give rise to speculation about where and how she and her navigator disappeared. There have always been questions raised about Earhart's competence as a pilot, and some of her decisions, such as jettisoning what could have been vital survival gear, are examined. Ultimately, the fate of Amelia Earhart may always remain a mystery, but this documentary provides some fascinating informed speculation about the famed pilot's final flight. --Robert J. McNamara
