I Shouldn't Be Alive

Season 1

From the producers of "Touching the Void", this show features accounts of individuals and groups caught in dangerous scenarios, presented both through interviews and dramatic re-enactments. The main focus is how the survivors survived and the decisions they made that kept them alive; not who survived and who died.
