Lhotse

Life is a fine line - Hilaree Nelson and Jim Morrison have often had to experience this at first hand. But the two ski mountaineers are dreaming again of a mountain, the 8516-metre-high Lhotse, and the downhill run of their lives. Never before have they succeeded in descending the eight-thousand-metre peak on skis, although the 45 to 50 degree steep Lhotse Couloir is an absolute dream line. But at some flanks of Lhotse there is seldom snow and also the weather has to play along. So the two US-Americans don't have much time left. They put everything on one card and dare to fulfill their dream with high speed and minimal equipment.

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".
