Alaska Is Hiding Something Nobody Talks About

You probably think you know Alaska?! Endless snow, mountains, and the Northern Lights, but America's largest state has a history that sounds almost impossible. In this documentary, we uncover 15 unbelievable Alaska stories: why Russia sold the territory for just two cents an acre, the most powerful earthquake ever recorded in American history, the forgotten World War II invasion that brought enemy troops onto American soil, and the legendary dog sled relay that saved an entire town from a deadly epidemic.
