About Mummies Unwrapped

Cinematographer and noted Egyptologist Ramy Romany has produced, directed, filmed and been featured in more than 100 documentaries on ancient Egypt. That experience makes him the ideal host for this series, in which he investigates spellbinding secrets of fascinating burial sites, mass graves and ancient tombs around the world. Each episode finds Romany in the midst of legends, myths, curses and cover-ups, and he seeks to unravel the origin of each mummy and the life that once was. “Mummies Unwrapped” also introduces new theories about how ancient civilizations once lived and died, and it shines a light on what, if any, mystical forces or supernatural phenomena may be at work.

Unlike reality TV, this adventure is real. Fireball Run is the only series filming in real time. These are real people on a real journey and their reactions are real. The factual series follows the story of 40 road warrior teams challenged with locating some of the most interesting, unique and often under-discovered places in America. This is the story of towns as revealed through the true experiences of real people. Enid was featured during Season 8: America’s Frontier in 2014.

Lou Ford is a mild-mannered sheriff’s deputy in a Texas oil town in the mid 1950’s. His boss sends him to roust a prostitute living in a rural house. She slaps him; he hits her, then, after daily sex for the next few weeks, he decides it’s love. She’s devoted to him and becomes his pawn in a revenge plot she thinks is to shakedown the son of Chester Conway, the town’s wealthy king of construction. Lou has a different plan, and bodies pile up as murder leads to murder. The district attorney suspects Lou, and Conway may have an inkling, but Lou stays cool. Is love, or at least peace, in the cards? Starring Casey Affleck, Ned Beatty, Kate Hudson, Jessica Alba, Bill Pullman.
