The Toronto Film Festival has come and gone, and I was on the scene to check out the fest鈥檚 most promising offerings. The standout films turned out to be profiles of adventure seekers鈥攁s well as adventure survivors. In Storm Surfers 3-D, pro surfers Tom Carroll and Ross Clarke-Jones bounce around Australia in search of death-defying swells. Kon-Tiki revisits Thor Heyerdahl鈥檚 gutsy journey across the Pacific in nothing but a wooden raft. The Deep recreates the miraculous tale of a shipwreck survivor in Iceland. I also enjoyed the forays into the world of organized sports (9.79* and Venus & Serena) and a beautifully shot documentary about disappearing bees (More Than Honey). Here鈥檚 the full lowdown on all six films.
