The World's Greatest Escapes
Duration: 6 x 60'
Contact SalesThis dramatic series follows the astonishing stories of people who underwent some of the most extraordinary journeys ever recorded - and lived to tell the tale.
Each case unpicks these stranger-than-fiction survival stories where hero contributors, who were just moments from death and rescued in the nick of time, are taken back to the spot where it all happened as they recount how they cheated the Grim Reaper.
Each episode focuses on a single story of desperation and salvation from some of the world’s most extreme journeys by land, sea and air, charting the moment contributors’ lives turned (sometimes, quite literally) upside down and descended into a living nightmare. Mixing incredible resilience with downright daftness, these are stories that define the human spirit at its best and worst.
