El Niño on TV

On April 2004, the North American “History Channel” broadcasted the documentary  “What Killed the Napoleons Troops in

Russia, 1812?”. In this documentary the thesis first advanced by Caviedes that the winter of 1812 was extremely  cruel in

Europe because it happened at the wake of an El Niño in the eastern Pacific is presented by the author in a clip filmed in

Gainesville . The documentary was produced by Molly Bedell for the series “Investigating History”, a project of Kurtis

Productions, Chicago.

The documentary “Beat the Wild Wind” projected by  the British company Zenith Entertainment and on one of the chapters

of "El Niño in History"has been put on hold for lack of financing.
