Tonight, on PBS, there's a show about Mt Everest. The description is: Chronicling a 1996 Mount Everest tragedy in which three teams of climbers were caught in a deadly storm, filmmaker/mountain climber David Breashears tells a story that's equal parts awe-inspiring and agonizing. Breashears was on the scene to help with the rescue when a blizzard at 26,000 feet trapped many of the climbers. Now he interviews several of the survivors, and their blunt tales of bravery and fear — along with the director's footage of stunning landscapes that turned — make for a remarkable documentary.
The problem? Apparently, PBS is a pay channel that I don't pay for. *sigh* I would have liked to see it!
