I saw a really great PBS documentary about mountain climbing called touching the void.
It's a story about a climber that breaks his leg scaling down a mountain and the will it took to survive such an experience.
Lots of really nice shots of the mountainous regions if you like that sort of thing. In parts, the movie touches on atheism
and believing in god. The survivor didn't have any desire to ask for help from god as you would think most people would
given the circumstances.
It's is actually on youtube, split up into segments but here is a splice of it. It's also on netflix streaming.
