Les Guthman
The thrilling inside story of the discovery of gravitational waves from deep space, 2015-1017. We filmed this dramatic and emotional peak in the lives of the 1,000 rebel scientists who risked their careers in a $1 billion search for these exquisite messengers from warped space, and in the process revolutionized our understanding of the universe.

Skiing Everest
Mike Marolt, Les Guthman
A small, elite fraternity of high-altitude skiers climb the highest peaks in the world in pure Alpine style, carrying their skis and declining to use supplemental oxygen. At the top of the world, high in the Death Zone, they lock into their skis and challenge the most dangerous slopes in the world—under weather conditions that are as perilous as the thin air, hidden crevasses and 10,000 ft. sheer faces that drop into Nepal and Tibet far below.

The Hudson Riverkeepers
Les Guthman
Documentary on the 30-year clean up of the Hudson River, featuring Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., attorney for the Hudson Riverkeeper foundation, and Bob Boyle, a Sports Illustrated writer who formed the Hudson River Fisherman's Association in the 1960s and whose lawsuit to clean up the Hudson went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court and provided the legal precedent for all of the environmental laws of the 1970s. Kennedy's father, Sen. Robert Kennedy is shown with Walter Cronkite in a landmark 1965 CBS Documentary, "The Majestic Polluted Hudson."
