Краткое содержание
Steven Callahan gives a gripping first-hand account of his NYT bestselling novel "Adrift: 76 Days Lost At Sea." On the eve of February 4, 1982, in the middle of the night there was a loud boom as a whale collided with Steven's boat. Within minutes, his small craft was flooded with a rush of water. He grabbed what he could, heaved his life raft into the ocean, and snatched his emergency kit. Without food or water, for an incredible 76 days the inflatable raft was his home as he drifted across the entire Atlantic Ocean. Forced to come to terms with his own shortcomings and limitations, Steven finds a strength he never knew he had. This official documentary, executive produced by Callahan, brings the story to life with found 8MM footage, original stills of the time of the voyage, and first-person recreation. Still possessing many of the original artifacts, he takes us step-by-step through his harrowing and life-altering adventure.

In the history of aviation, there have been only 14 of them: sole survivors of a commercial aviation disaster.

Sole Survivor brings four of them together (George Lamson, Cecilia Cichan, Bahia Bakari and Jim Polehinke) to share their very complex, personal stories for the first time. They revisit the most harrowing moments of their lives in an effort to heal and overcome their most perplexing questions.

Тысячи императорских пингвинов покидают надежную глубину океана, выходят на холодную землю и начинают свое долгое путешествие вглубь настолько сурового и морозного континента, что там нет никакой жизни. Но именно туда идут цепочкой, друг за другом императорские пингвины. Несмотря на слепящие снежные бури, они решительно и упрямо идут туда, где должны дать жизнь потомству и обеспечить выживание вида.

К плаванию на плоту через Тихий океан Хейердала подтолкнули старинные летописи и рисунки испанских конкистадоров с изображением плотов инков, а также местные легенды и археологические свидетельства, позволявшие предполагать, что между Южной Америкой и Полинезией могли быть контакты. В 1947 году Хейердал и ещё пятеро путешественников - Кнут Хаугланд, Бенгт Даниельссон, Эрик Хессельберг, Турстейн Робю и Герман Ватцингер - прибыли в Перу, где из бальсового дерева и других природных материалов построили плот паэ-паэ, который они назвали «Кон-Тики». Они вышли в Тихий океан 28 апреля, а 7 августа, на 102-й день мореплавания, их плот, преодолевший 4300 морских миль (8000 км), прибило к рифам атолла Рароиа островов Туамоту. Книга Тура Хейердала «Кон-Тики» переведена на 66 языков мира. Документальный фильм об экспедиции, снятый Хейердалом во время плавания, получил в 1952 году премию «Оскар» за лучший документальный полнометражный фильм.

Shot during three seasons, Kenuajuak's documentary tenderly portrays village life and the elements that forge the character of his people: their history, the great open spaces and their unflagging humour. Though Kenuajuak appreciates the amenities of southern civilization that have made their way north, he remains attached to the traditional way of life and the land: its vast tundra, the sea teeming with Arctic char, the sky full of Canada geese. My Village in Nunavik is an unsentimental film by a young Inuk who is open to the outside world but clearly loves his village. With subtitles.
