" As a Search and Rescue professional, I have always been interested in the personal story of the survivors of distress situations. The Alaskan Wilderness provides for great adventure and great danger. The sudden turn of events that put these experienced outdoorsmen in survival mode, provides a fascinating insight into Joe Albea's personal survival experience."

On September 18, 1989, a seasoned outdoor producer/cinematographer and a hunting party became stranded in the middle of frigid Sandy Lake-about 500 miles southwest of Anchorage, Alaska-after their boat capsized.

A mountain wave was to blame.

"Mountain Wave" is a story about the triumph of the human spirit when thrust into inconceivable circumstances.
