The Summit 2013
Documentary
The Summit is a 2012 documentary film about the 2008 K2 disaster directed by Nick Ryan. It combines documentary footage with dramatized recreations of the events of the 2008 K2 disaster. On the way to and from the summit, eleven climbers died during a short time span creating one of the worst catastophes in climbing history. Much of the documentary footage was captured by Swedish mountaineer Fredrik Sträng. Sträng was planning to do a Documentary which was aborted due to the fact that he did not reach the summit. The footage was still valuable to help solving what really did happen since all the climbers had different stories about what happened.

En el corazón del mar 2015
Película
En el invierno de 1820, el ballenero de Nueva Inglaterra Essex fue agredido por algo a lo que nadie podía dar crédito: una ballena de tamaño y voluntad descomunal, con un sentido de la venganza casi humano.

Pero la novela solo contó la mitad de la historia. “En el corazón del mar” revela las horribles consecuencias del encuentro, cuando los supervivientes de la tripulación fueron forzados hasta el límite y se vieron obligados a hacer lo impensable para mantenerse vivos. Enfrentándose a las tormentas, el hambre, el pánico, y la desesperación, los hombres llegan a dudar hasta de sus creencias más profundas, desde el valor de sus vidas a la moralidad de su oficio, mientras el capitán intenta orientarse en el mar abierto y su primer oficial sigue empeñado en conquistar a la gran ballena.
