NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC CHANNEL COMMISSIONS OXFORD SCIENTIFIC FILMS TO FIND THE PERFECT WEAPON


(Washington, DC – January 31, 2008) - National Geographic Channels International has commissioned Oxford Scientific Films (OSF) to produce a brand new six-part series examining the science, technology and history of a formidable array of weapons. The film is distributed by Southern Star International.

Each 60-minute episode of Perfect Weapon features a different category of weapon, but the aim is the same: to find the weapon whose design, manufacture and usability made it so effective, it changed the world forever.

The series is presented by two passionate experts, ex-Marine Monty Halls and Bristol University academic and weapons expert Stuart Prior. Each episode sees the duo select a different battlefield weapon to trial, study its origins and examine its evolution - from the raw brutality of hammers and flails, the surgical precision of swords and axes, to the destructive power of siege engines and the overwhelming force of gunpowder.
