Sounding the Depths
In the 15th century, a ship loaded with porcelain sank off the coast of Vietnam. We talk to the project manager of a team that set out to recover the treasure from the treacherous Dragon Sea. But first, director Anthony Minghella talks about his new film “Breaking and Entering.” And Bill Nighy tells us about his role in the thriller “Notes on a Scandal.” Plus, a look at 200 years of influence and involvement between America and the Middle East.
