NatGeo’s ‘Trapped’ is on the remarkable survival and rescue of people who chose life over death
|
Imagine being stranded on an icy mountain without food or water. Imagine your body pinned under tons of steel and concrete. Imagine if your weekend adventure turns into a terrifying struggle between life and death. National Geographic Channel and Godfrey Phillips Bravery salute the real heroes, through ‘Trapped’. Premiering today, the six-part series will air every Monday at 10 p.m. on the National Geographic Channel.
From an incredible tale of survival in the Andes to a daring cave rescue in France, the series gives a new perspective to these survival stories. Each story is told from the viewpoint of the victims struggling to survive and that of the heroes battling to save them. Before disaster strikes and the race against time begins, Nat Geo constantly cuts between these two parallel narratives until they converge at the climactic moment of escape. The series showcases astonishing examples of creative problem solving, ingenious application of basic scientific principles, hi-tech engineering, sacrifice and heroism.
Apart from the six international films, the channel is also showcasing Indian stories of survival and bravery through on-air interstitials (short films) that also invite viewers to share their bravery stories.
In addition there is also an interactive print and on-air SMS survival contest for viewers. Send the word ‘natgeo’ through SMS to 57827 and get a chance to win limited edition Nat Geo Survival Gear. The channel has also tied up with the premium men’s lifestyle magazine, Maxim to create more awareness on the series. Nat Geo has created a special microsite on www.nationalgeographic.co.in which includes a host of features such as show information, pictures, videos, survival tips and other interactive features such as ‘Ask the Expert’ and ‘Test your survival skills’ quiz.
