Description

Close to the peak of Annapurna, one of the highest mountains in the world, Iñaki Ochoa de Olza, lies on the brink of death. His climbing companion Horia Colibasanu, who shared the same rope, sounds the alarm and from the other side of the world, the biggest rescue attempt in the history of the Himalayas gets underway. For four days a dozen men including some of the best mountaineers in the world set out to try to rescue their stricken comrade. This heart-pounding look at adventure and risk tells the exceptional account of the rescue attempt through the stories of the many brave men who risked their lives to try to save another.

In English and Spanish, with English subtitles.
