Double or Nothing

In August 2001, Scott Johnson was lying in a hospital bed dying from cystic fibrosis, a genetic progressive disease. His lungs were failing him and unless he got a double lung transplant soon, his death was imminent. Scott promised himself, if he got a second chance, he would make the most of it and have no regrets. While waiting in a hospital bed, he made a list of all the things he would do in his life if gifted with a successful transplant. Three months later after a harrowing journey, he received the miracle of his new lungs, which began one of the greatest comebacks any transplant survivor could endeavor. In the years following his transplant, Scott would go on to become the first person with a double lung transplant to complete a full Ironman, and now he has his sights set on The Crossing For Cystic Fibrosis - an 80-mile ocean challenge.

Night Will Fall

When Allied forces liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1944-45, their terrible discoveries were recorded by army and newsreel cameramen, revealing for the first time the full horror of what had happened. Making use of British, Soviet and American footage, the Ministry of Information’s Sidney Bernstein (later founder of Granada Television) aimed to create a documentary that would provide lasting, undeniable evidence of the Nazis’ unspeakable crimes. He commissioned a wealth of British talent, including editor Stewart McAllister, writer and future cabinet minister Richard Crossman – and, as treatment advisor, his friend Alfred Hitchcock. Yet, despite initial support from the British and US Governments, the film was shelved, and only now, 70 years on, has it been restored and completed by Imperial War Museums under its original title "German Concentration Camps Factual Survey".
