INDIA is an exotic mixing pot of iconic wildlife, secret locations, epic landscapes and colourful beauty. This iconic and landmark series is a celebration of India’s most spectacular locations and incredible wildlife. From the "home of snow" in the epic Himalayan Mountains we travel to the mighty River Ganges, lifeblood of India as it carves out its dramatic path across the subcontinent. We also reveal Thar, the “Great Indian Desert”. Its territory includes much of Rajasthan (“the desert state”), where the bleakness of its environment is juxtaposed with the striking colours of traditional Rajasthani dress and amazing wildlife spectacles Also featured is India's lost world of the north east, home to head hunting tribes, tiger infested forests, mountains not yet climbed, rivers waiting to be fished. And finally to the Western Ghats. This biodiversity hotspot is home to epic waterfalls, hill tribes, hidden caves and stunning wildlife.. Part 1: Thar Desert Sacred Sands Covering 200,000 square kilometres, India’s Thar Desert is one of the harshest places on the planet. Baking heat, desiccating winds and near permanent drought has earned this unforgiving land another name – “the region of death.” As we explore India’s great desert we unveil its hidden secrets, and ultimately shed light as to how the Thar has become the most crowded desert in the world. Part 2: Ganges River of Life The Ganges is the longest river in India. It flows from the glaciers of the world’s highest mountains, the Himalayas, to the largest bay in the world, the Bay of Bengal. Human pollution threatens to overwhelm the river, but somehow wild animals survive. Hindus believe that Ganges water has the power to purify, and it seems there is some scientific evidence to support this conviction: microscopic organisms actually eat bacteria that could cause disease, and uniquely high level levels of oxygen break down organic waste faster than any in other river. This self-cleaning property of Ganges water helps support some of the last remaining true wilderness in the world – the Sundarbans swamp. Here, India’s largest population of wild tigers have never learned to fear man, making them very dangerous neighbours. Part 3: Himalayas Surviving the Summits Outside Asia, no peak reaches above 7000 metres, but along the Himalayan range, over 100 mountains exceed this height by at least 200 metres, making it the tallest mountain range on the planet.As Earth meets the sky along this hostile terrain, powerful winds, sub-zero temperatures, and a lack of oxygen oppose virtually all forms of life, but remarkably, this immense geological feature somehow supports one of the largest and most diverse collections of creatures on the planet – including man. While the Himalayas rugged highlands offer little direct refuge to humans, in the shadow below, over a billion people in India rely on the mountains for survival. Part 4: Western Ghats Monsoon Mountains Stretching for a thousand miles along India’s west coast, the Western Ghats are a spine of mountains that lay claim to being one of the most bio-diverse places in the world. Mountains rear their heads into the path of monsoon clouds, intercepting rains and making the western slopes some of the wettest places in India. Tropical rainforests thrives, and explode with life. The Western Ghats hold the key to life across southern India. Rainwater harvested by the mountains washes down to the coast, feeding Kerala’s backwaters; huge rivers flow east across India’s dry interior, a lifeline to animals and people. Part 5: Indias Lost World Imagine a lost world – head hunting tribes, tiger-infested forests, unclimbed mountains, pristine rivers. Known as the Seven Sisters of India, there are seven relatively unexplored and isolated Indian states. What mysteries lie within this secretive land and why have they remained untouched for so long? North-east India is an anthropological paradise; there is no other place on Earth with so many different ethnic groups. The forest slopes are filled with mysterious tribes whose lives are dictated by the ebb and flow of the rain and the seasonal fruits of the forest. In these largely unexplored and isolated areas people scarcely known to the Western world continue a way of life steeped in ancient rituals.
没想到真实发生过？不平等和平等都难处理……
从官方视角中的恐怖分子的视角拍的片子比较有特色，而且是种族隔离时期的理想主义者，革命者，热血青年，他们不怕死，但要自由。
一场围绕银行人质事件而引发的道德质问！谁是制造恐怖事件的元凶？谁是残害百姓的恶魔？
作为“革命者”，这几个人太过温和了
把反派描写的越无能，正派的光辉和伟大就越显得可笑！观看过程中无数次呈现这一疑问，总感觉这部根据真实事件改编的电影描写的如此不真实，包括很多绑匪与人质之间的互动一眼就能看出艺术夸张。了解了真实历史事件后果然证实了这一疑问，其实没有线人，也没有司法部长女儿做人质，就是强攻，三名绑匪和两名人质死亡，这也是许多电影不如本身真实事件来的精彩的主要原因！
“没见过这么多不怕死的人质，个个都是戏精。”关于南非的风土人情的介绍很给力。控诉了种族隔离的制度。把钻石之城介绍给了世界。

层层压迫，错的不是同性恋也不是女性，错的是这个世界（男权社会）。
呵呵，看看南非现在的样子，你们自由了，如愿了，可天堂实现了吗？
那么问题来了，为什么豆瓣演员条目里没有黑人演员和导演？
It always seems impossible until it's done.
不错。很悲壮，缺点也很明显，太短，整个电影更像是从某个故事当中截取出的一个片段，导致人物形象不够饱满，看起来也稍微有点没头没脑的感觉。
80年代争取独立是正义的，这是与kb分子的区别
改编并不出彩，剧本对于事件现场和南非社会两个尺度下种族冲突的平行刻画都很肤浅，但看得出导演和编剧在质感和节奏上，有意努力模仿同经典的题材/同类型电影，这方面《血腥星期天》是标杆。作为一部中低成本时代背景电影，视觉还是很良心的，尤其是服化道。值得一提的是，前南非军队特战军人创设的G73 Tactical Advisors战术/安保机构为该片提供了警务指挥与战术顾问、演员枪械训练、警察特技群演、警用服装/装具、警用载具（包括直升机）。
What's the price of freedom? Everything. Sometimes Freedom costs too much. 然而，我们一往无前。
最后一幕拍的真好。whats the price of freedom? everything.
今年看过最提气的片子了，看得好气，好燃。motherfucker politicians
爱抬杠的，请到南非溜达一圈，看看黑人如何的热情好客。
虽然两位都是我喜欢的演员，但我还是更推荐剧版情感描写更细腻
萦绕于心的自我否定与怀疑。
