Bear Grylls is an adventurer, record breaker and real life action hero. Experience his
latest adventure from the comfort of your armchair as he braves the blistering heat and
deadly sand storms of the Sahara Desert in Born Survivor – Sahara.
Bear Grylls has a built a huge following with his Born Survivor TV Series, originally
screened on Discovery Channel, numerous television appearances and best-selling
book Facing Up. Born Survivor – Sahara will be available courtesy of Demand DVD
on 28 January 2008.
No stranger to extremes, Grylls become the youngest Briton to climb Everest earning a
place in the Guinness Book Of Records, prior to this he was the youngest Briton to
climb Mount Ama Dablam in the Himalayaas, a peak once described by Sir Edmund
Hillary as “unclimbable”. And he’s one of the few people to successfully complete the
gruelling training for the French Foreign Legion; he also spent three years with the SAS
and is a black belt in Karate.
This time, Grylls is heading to The Sahara, one of the most hostile places on earth. This
two-hour feature length special sees Grylls trying to survive in unbearable conditions,
from the shocking heat, the lethal sand storms to the lack of food and water. Resorting
to his skills and unbelievable survival techniques, he demonstrates amazing instinct
and learns new skills from the tribes he meets along the way. Lunching on lizards and
scorpions and drinking water from a camel’s ruman (stomach compartment) adds to the
excitement, and Grylls also demonstrates what to do if caught in deadly quick sand.
The tension will keep viewers on the edge of their seat.
‘For full-on wind in your hair TV escapism, there’s nothing like watching Bear
Grylls cavorting on the wilderness like a schoolboy who’s had too much Red
Bull’
