Beyond the Edge (2013)

Beyond the Edge: Directed by Leanne Pooley. With Chad Moffitt, Sonam Sherpa, John Wraight, Joshua Rutter. Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary’s monumental and historical ascent of Mt. Everest in 1953 – an event that stunned the world and defined a nation.

“An excellent telling of the story of the conquest of Everest. A detailed and fascinating account of the first successful expedition that seamlessly blends historical footage and pictures with recreations while telling the story of the whole expedition, including the strategy, tactics, equipment, procedures and internal politics of who would be chosen to attempt the summit. After watching several of the historical and more recent Everest films, this one filled in some information holes and provided an insight to the u0026quot;real dealu0026quot; as told by those who were on the team, recalling personal and important pieces of the expedition.”
