Forget about Survivor or Lost or Fear Factor. This new program on Discovery channel will send the producers of these shows to a tailspin. Its about real life experiences of people who have cheated death or should I say survived a close death. Its just bone chilling to watch the ordeal of adventure seekers, stranded amidst deserts, oceans and mountains, surviving for days without food and water and somehow making it back into civilization. The programs are adaptations of real life experiences with intermittent commentaries by the survivors themselves.
In my view the most inspiring adventure adaptation is a documentary 'Touching The Void', a saga of 2 climbers on a climbing adventure in the Andes.A must see for all adventure lovers. Another must read is the novel 'Into Thin Air' - a reporter's quest to conquer Mt.Everest. Another worthy mention is the documentary of Captain Scott's expedition to the south pole. Some of these adaptations will bring out that adventure spirit and make you feel as if you are just sitting at the comfort of your home and doing absolutely nothing, but for others they seem totally boring.
