World-renowned adventurer and broadcaster, Bear Grylls, presents some of the most incredible near-death experiences, told by those who lived to tell the tale. These extraordinary and diverse accounts of human bravery, mental and physical strength - and sometimes sheer luck - range from being stranded for more than 50 days at sea, to surviving world-changing acts of terrorism. Bear contextualises each feat of endurance or bravery by relating them to his own experiences of near-misses and misfortune from his military career and survivalist adventures.

Bear Grylls is a man who has always sought the ultimate in adventure. Growing up on the Isle of Wight, he was taught by his father to sail and climb at an early age. As a teenager he found identity and purpose through both mountaineering and martial arts, which led the young adventurer to the foothills of the mighty Himalaya and a grandmaster's karate training camp in Japan.

"True Grit" er en samling af ekstraordinære autentiske fortællinger om mennesker, der nægtede at give op og præsterede at overleve ekstreme situationer mod alle odds. Vi hører om den amerikanske bombepilot Louis Zamperini, der overlevede 47 dage strandet midt på havet ved at dræbe og spise de hajer, der var kommet til for at æde ham, og drikke blod fra albatrosser og efter sin utrolige overlevelse blev fanget og smidt i en japansk krigsfangelejr, hvor han måtte udholde ekstrem tortur i årevis.

Take the American bombardier Louis Zamperini, who survived 47 days stranded at sea by catching and killing hungry sharks and drinking the warm blood of albatrosses - only to be captured by the Japanese and horrifically tortured for years in their most brutal POW camps. Or Marcus Luttrell, a Navy SEAL who single-handedly took on a Taliban regiment before dragging his bleeding, bullet-ridden body for days through the harsh mountains of Afghanistan.
