"Can the enemy be your savior?"

In November 1984 two Swedish girls drift out to the Baltic Sea in a rowboat. The first night they have a close encounter with something they believe to be a gigantic platform. Minutes later as the platform vanishes down below the surface of the water they realize it was a submarine. 48 hours later they are rescued by a Soviet union cargo ship by the name of DAGESTAN. At the time media focused its attention on the sunshine story and the miraculous rescue of the two young girls. The actual encounter with the submarine becomes a state secret that involves the Swedish and Russian intelligence and is not shared with the media at the time. This is also a story about a strong friendship and their well kept secret; and a Russian submarine Captain who took a huge risk saving two complete strangers from a certain death.

Biography

Biography is a documentary television series. It was originally a half-hour filmed series produced for CBS by David Wolper from 1961 to 1964 and hosted by Mike Wallace. The A&E Network later re-ran it and has produced new episodes since 1987. The older version featured historical figures such as Helen Keller and Mark Twain, or long-dead entertainment figures such as Will Rogers or John Barrymore. The A&E series has placed the emphasis on such people as Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Plácido Domingo, Freddie Mercury, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Eric Clapton, Pope John Paul II, Gene Tierney, Selena, Diego Rivera, Mao Zedong and Queen Elizabeth II, and fictional characters like The Phantom, Superman, Hamlet, Betty Boop, and Santa Claus. The program ended up profiling enough figures that in 1999, A&E spun it off into an entire network, The Biography Channel.
