Secret World of Fireworks

SECRET WORLD OF FIREWORKS explores the closely held secrets, recipes, and techniques from the world of pyrotechnic showmen. For the first time in this HD special, National Geographic takes a behind the scenes look into this exclusive world with unique access from Zambelli Internationale of New Castle, Pennsylvania – America’s “First Family of Fireworks” – along with rocket scientists and chemists from Los Alamos, New Mexico.

From getting down and dirty with the Zambelli craftsmen and designers to placing a helicopter into the heart of a fireworks show to record the amazing bursts at the peak of their ascent, National Geographic’s SECRET WORLD OF FIREWORKS is the definitive documentary film on the science and showmanship of modern professional pyrotechnics.
