Curious Journey

The 1916 Easter Rising in Dublin was an armed rebellion by Irish republicans against British rule in their country. Sixty years later, Kenneth Griffith interviews nine of those who took part in that historic event. This documentary was filmed in 1976 and completed in 1978. However, it was suppressed from being shown on television.

Dudh Kosi: Relentless River of Everest

In 1976 a British expedition made mountaineering history, becoming the first kayakers to descend the Dudh Kosi river that runs off Mount Everest. High in the Himalayas, and at incredible speed, six Olympic-class canoeists battled with white water over rocks, waterfalls and treacherous whirlpools. As they struggled to negotiate a 30-pound canoe over a river with 30mph waterfalls, the threat of capsizing was ever present.
