Behind the Scenes
Jim Davidson being interviewed for the TV show “I Shouldn’t Be Alive”
In the summer of 2010, Jim got an unexpected phone call asking if his survival tale could be made into a one-hour episode of the extremely popular show “I Shouldn’t Be Alive”. A film crew came to Colorado and filmed an intense interview with Jim Davidson.
Then an extensive reenactment of the Mount Rainier climb and accident was filmed on a glacier in Chile. The show is filmed and produced by the renowned Darlow Smithson Productions, the same company that made the excellent climbing film “Touching the Void”. They produce compelling stories about human endurance and emotional journeys.
“I Shouldn’t Be Alive” broadcasts on Animal Planet in the USA, and it also airs in the United Kingdom and Australia.
