Primal Fear

Primal Fear goes beyond the innate terror associated with our deepest fears to examine the history, psychology and science behind what scares us most. Each fear – being buried alive under six feet of suffocating dirt, the strike of a lethal snake, terrorist attacks that can occur at any time - will be explored by looking at its history, the science behind it and contemporary survivor stories that relate what a near-death experience was like.

Feel your pulse quicken and your muscles tense as this fascinating programme from History brings our most frightening fears to life.
