Since the video topics are scattered randomly from both

3. St. John Ambulance - How to Give CPR on an Adult
4. St. John Ambulance - Using an AED

7. Lifesaving Society - Adult/Child Conscious Obstructed
8. Lifesaving Society - Adult/Child Unconscious Obstructed

10. Heart and stroke portion from the older video
suggested (not tested on this selection)
1. Babies - This
visually stunning new movie simultaneously follows four babies
around the world - from first breath to first steps. From
Mongolia to Namibia to San Francisco to Tokyo, BABIES joyfully
captures on film the earliest stages of the journey of humanity
that are at once unique and universal to us all.
2. Cove
- viewer discretion is advised. The Cove is a 2009 documentary
film that analyzes and questions Japan's dolphin hunting
culture. It was awarded the (2010) Academy Award for Best
Documentary Feature. The film is a call to action to halt mass
dolphin kills, change Japanese fishing practices, and to inform
and educate the public about the risks, and increasing hazard,
of mercury poisoning from dolphin meat.

Touching the Void - An incredible story of survival
In the mid-80's two young climbers attempted to reach the
summit of Siula Grande in Peru; a feat that had previously been
attempted but never achieved. With an extra man looking after
base camp, Simon and Joe set off to scale the mount in one long
push over several days. The peak is reached, however on the
descent Joe falls and breaks his leg. Despite what it means, the
two continue with Simon letting Joe out on a rope for 300
meters, then descending to join him and so on. However when Joe
goes out over an overhang with no way of climbing back up, Simon
makes the decision to cut the rope. Joe falls into a crevasse
and Simon, assuming him dead, continues back down. Joe however
survives the fall and was lucky to hit a ledge in the crevasse.
This is the story of how he got back down
