Six Hours: Surviving Typhoon Yolanda

In the middle of a broadcast about Typhoon Yolanda's initial impact, reporter Jiggy Manicad was faced with the reality that he no longer had communication with his station. They were, for all intents and purposes, stranded in Tacloban. With little option, and his crew started the six hour walk to Alto, where the closest broadcast antenna was to be found. Letting the world know what was happening to was a priority, but they were driven by the need to let their families and friends know they were all still alive. Along the way, they encountered residents and victims of the massive typhoon, and with each step it became increasingly clear just how devastating this storm was. This was a storm that was going to change lives.

Vittoria sull'Annapurna

Questo documentario è stato rilasciato in Francia nel 1953, appena 8 settimane prima che Tenzing e Hillary conquistassero l'Everest. La prima vetta di 8000 metri ad essere scalata fu l'Annapurna I, tre anni prima nel 1950, da una spedizione francese che comprendeva Maurice Herzog, Lionel Terray, Gaston Rébuffat, Jean Crouzy, Marcel Schutz, Jacques Oudot, Francis de Noyelle e il direttore della fotografia Marcel Ichac, l'unico ad aver già fatto un'esperienza himalayana (vedi 'Karakoram', film del 1936 premiato alla Mostra del Cinema di Venezia nel 1938). Si tratta di un'avventura epica filmata in condizioni difficili da un esperto di cinema di montagna dell'epoca, che si concluse con una vittoria ma anche con un susseguirsi di disastri e feriti.
