Recommendation Request Recommendation request: doc about undersea cable repair?
I'm looking for a documentary about undersea cable repair, but after searching for 20minutes I can't find any.
To be clear: I'm not looking for a video essay about undersea cables by some random youtuber. I want a proper doc about the process of repairing an undersea cable (it can be an electrical, fiber, or telecommunications cable)

It’s not a documentary, but “Mother Earth, mother board” is a nonfiction long read written by Neal Stephenson in the previous century that is utterly engaging.

Like the other post, this isn’t what you’re looking for, but here is a gifted New York Times article that shows how cables are repaired, with video. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/11/30/world/africa/subsea-cables.html?unlocked_article_code=1.i04.OHif.MLzoOqp_X6u5&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
