Chile: The Longest Descent - Part 1 - The Highest Volcano

It's a crazy plan: to ride down the world’s longest descent from the roof of the Andes at 6890m to the Pacific coast of Chile - 300Km in all. But to even get to the start line, James Lowsley-Williams & Mark Beaumont need to scale the world's highest active volcano, Ojos del Salado with their bikes strapped to their backs. To make the start line they must acclimatise to the crushing altitude and the barren landscape before their attempt begins. Mark and James have nailed several epic rides in the past, but this latest attempt moves them into a different league, with extreme altitude and barren inhospitable landscapes challenging them before they can even begin.

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".
