Check out this documentary adaptation of a story I covered!

Streaming now on Hulu and Disney+ is “Cursed Gold,” a full-length documentary about Tommy Thompson, a brilliant scientist whose remarkable engineering and treasure-hunting feats turned his life upside-down. I published “The Curse of the Ship of Gold,” an update on this story via Narratively a few years ago and as such got to be a talking head in this incredible documentary. Not only does it provide a sweeping, exciting account of the whole story but also fills in some details I was personally interested in but weren’t available to the public at the time I was writing about it. Many people have said they want to start a #freetommy campaign upon finishing the doc – what do you think??
