Heinrich Harrer Played By Brad Pitt In Seven Years In Tibet (1997)
Seven Years in Tibet (1997) is a movie built around experiences in Tibet by Austrian mountaineer Heinrich Harrer during the 7 years he spent in the country between 1939 and 1951.
The influence Tibet had on Harrer was evident in his life's work: Harrer wrote 20 books about his adventures. Some of them, including the photographs inside, are considered some of the best evidence of traditional Tibetan culture. He even founded a museum about Tibet in Austria, in addition to making about 40 documentary films.
If you have a chance, watch season 1 episode 1 “Shark Survivor”. It is one crazy survival story narrated by the survivors. You will not easily forget.
I shouldn't be Alive was a great show. There was even an episode about a sailor trying to make it across the Atlantic in a small boat that was overturned and he spent many days drifting at sea, surviving on solar still water and what he could catch until he was finally rescued around the Bahamas.
