Miracle at Point Nemo: Rescued from the remotest spot on Earth

Available for over a year

Record-breaking French yachtswoman Isabelle Autissier was taking part in the Around Alone Race in 1999 when her boat was upturned by a huge wave and capsized in the middle of the Pacific. She was stranded in her upturned hull in an area known as Point Nemo. It's the remotest place on Earth - the closest human being was on the International Space Station. She tells Jo Fidgen how she was able to make one last call for help - but would rescue come in time? Nadeem Shehzad and Mohammed Saud are the Indian bodybuilding brothers who rescue injured birds, eventually turning their home in Delhi into a makeshift hospital. They've now cared for over 26,000 injured birds. (The voice overs are by Gaurav Sajjanhar and Samar Abbas Kazmi. The clips of Cliffhanger are from Studio Canal.)
