Johnson — who has participated in “Ice Age Death Trap,” “Making of North America” and “Day the Dinosaurs Died” — notes that working with Apsell is “definitely an interactive process of creation.” “A lot of producers are more used to delivering a final product, but Paula and her team are really striving for excellent production and accuracy,” he says. “They pay attention to everything.” When Apsell does goes on location, she is fearless, once hiking a narrow ridge above a 500-foot ravine and then climbing a 50-foot metal ladder pinned to a cliff face to get into a cave full of bats for the episode “Ancient Refuge in a Holy Land.” At the University of Hartford, professor Richard Freund, who is also director of the Maurice Greenberg Center for Judaic studies, worked with Apsell on two N OVA episodes, and recounts her trek at the Dead Sea in Israel where, in 2000, he was excavating the remote, barely accessible cave that held the bones of Jews escaping the Romans and a cache of ancient letters and documents. “Needless to say, N OVA sent their very toughest crew into the cave with us, which not only was full of Paula Apsell at Israel’s Cave of Letters bats, but had little air,” Freund recounts. “Its three chambers were only accessibly by wiggling through small breaks in the limestone roof.” Apsell wanted to see it all for herself. “Most producers would have just watched U.S. district judge John E.

That surf had been a major obstacle in the D-Day invasion itself, contributing to the devastatingly high casualty rate.

On board was a remarkable ninety-year-old veteran of D Day, who we planned to ferry underwater — with the help of a small James Cameron-like submarine — and film as he saw the ghostly remains of the very ship he had once sailed on — and nearly died on.
