Pompeii: The Day the Sky Fell

In 79 A.D., the Roman city of Pompeii was buried under volcanic ash when Mount Vesuvius erupted - one of history’s most catastrophic natural disasters. But the story didn’t end in destruction. This documentary uncovers the lesser-known aftermath: the Roman Empire’s response to the crisis, efforts at reconstruction, and how the disaster reshaped politics, economics, and urban planning in the region.
