Plot Synopsis

STILL ALIVE is a one-hour series that documents survival stories, using first-person footage from the person in danger. In the digital age, the camera catches everything. Phones and recording devices have become a necessity, ready and waiting to capture unforgettable moments, both good and bad. Anything intending to excite or impress others is often recorded, and continues to record even if that moment goes awry. Trapped in an avalanche, chased by a bear, hit by a tornado or stalked by a shark -- this series chronicles these never-before-seen stories, as told by those who have survived these unimaginable and harrowing situations. Each 60-minute episode tells multiple stories, including the series premiere, which showcases these tales: a scientist falls into a crevasse in the Himalayas, who is badly injured and must climb out alone or die; a man plummets to earth in free-fall when his parachute malfunctions; and a woman almost drowns after being dumped from a raft in the Colorado River.
