Description

dsp for Animal Planet

Adopting the award-winning format that made Touching the Void an international hit - ordinary people thrown into epic struggles for survival tell their own stories, while high-end drama brings these incredible experiences to life. Moment by moment, survivors relive the moral dilemmas, chance events and desperate decisions that ultimately brought them home alive.

At the heart of every film is an extraordinary physical ordeal; from the mountaineer who is left for dead on the world’s highest peak to the young family stranded in the Arizona desert battling dehydration and prowling gangs of people smugglers.

Running alongside is the emotional journey faced by each of our survivors. What would you do if you suddenly realised you were about to die alone? Could you accept that you would never see your loved ones again, and that they might never find out what happened to you? Would you lose your mind or would you fight to your last breath to defeat unimaginable odds?

In spectacular locations from Mount Everest to the slot canyons of Utah, this series brings you the people who faced these choices and lived to tell their tale. Every episode is both epic and awe-inspiring.
