I searched the net for you to try to find you the film as Fancast and Hulu have many Nat Geo show episodes and specials and also did a Google search etc. but to no avail and so i'd just keep an eye on the schedual as they post it (online) for the entire month and see when they show it again as i too want to watch it (again) .

Here's my question: why didn't Kate Winslet share her raft with Leonardo? I know it was only big enough for one person at a time, but they coulda done a "10-minute-at-a-time" switch back-and forth deal until the rescue boats came, thus keeping poor Leo from freezing his balls off and dying.

Artistic license. In actuality she should have died of hypothermia as well. A person who had been immersed in ice water and then exposed to air of a similar temperature without dry clothing or blankets wouldn't have had much better odds.

When you are in the North Atlantic at that latitude without proper clothing a very short period of time, a few minutes at most, is all that it takes to kill you. Sharing a raft would not be particularly useful if part of the time was spent in the water.

There must not have been much on the titanic, virtually no one who went into the water lived.

Of course the Hollywood version would not heat a lightbulb.....
