THE WILDEST DREAM

SUMMARY

National Geographic The Wildest Dream Uses astonishing visuals to tell the intersecting stories of George Mallory, the first man to attempt a summit of Mount Everest, and Conrad Anker, the mountaineer who finds Mallory's frozen remains 75 years later.

Eighty-five years after George Mallory s final attempt to summit Mount Everest, The Wildest Dream explores Mallory s obsession with becoming the first person to reach the highest place on Earth. Told through the explorer s poignant and evocative letters to his wife, Ruth, previously unseen photos and film archive from 1924 (restored from the original nitrate especially for the film), dramatization and a modern-day expedition retracing the original route taken in 1924, Mallory s incredible adventure lives again. The expedition was led by renowned mountaineer Conrad Anker, whose life became inextricably linked with Mallory s after he found Mallory s body on Everest in 1999. Using replica 1920s-era clothing and equipment, Anker sets out to solve the great mystery of whether Mallory succeeded in summiting Everest before he died he was last seen just 800 feet from the summit before the clouds closed in and he disappeared into legend. The most heartbreaking clue: All of Mallory s belongings were found intact on his body, except the photograph of his beloved Ruth, which he promised to leave at the top of the world if he succeeded. -- © National Geographic

CARSTENSZ - The Seven Summit

SYNOPSIS Snowy Mountains rise high above the untouched jungle of New Guinea, breaking through heavy rain clouds. A limestone pyramid, known as the Carstensz Pyramid, soars above them as the most exotic, but also the most inaccessible mountain in the world. The peak of this mountain was conquered for the first time, by Heinrich Harrer, in 1962. Access to the foothills of this mountain lead through the territory of the legendary Damal native tribes and still belongs amongst the most adventurous expeditions. Apart from obtaining the necessary permits, the biggest problem lies is in persuading the naked natives to help us with the transport of equipment from Beoga, across wild rivers and mountainous jungle, up to the snowy glaciers below the Carstensz Pyramid.

The film recently premiered at the Toronto Film Festival. One reviewer wrote, "Blindsight premiered today at the Varsity theatre, garnering possibly the loudest and longest applause of any Real to Reel film so far at the festival. The film's director, Lucy Walker, documented the amazing story of six blind Tibetan children attempting to climb a 23,000 foot peak near Mount Everest in 2004. The children were lead by their teacher, Sabriye Tenberken, who is also visually impaired, and Erik Weihenmayer, a blind man who climbed to the top of Mount Everest. Filled with emotion, struggle, triumph and a rousing rendition of "Happy Together", Blindsight instantly became a festival favorite. Great cinematography combined with a complex journey of self-discovery and teamwork will have many festival goers talking about Blindsight."

INTO THIN AIR

When he made the decision to climb Everest in 1996, Krakauer was a journalist for Outside magazine (which I love to read!). At first he intended to report back on the commercialization of the mountain, and only climb to Base Camp. Little did he realize that making the decision to pursue his childhood dream would lead him right into what is now known as the greatest disaster on Everest.
Krakauer chronicles the 1996 disaster, and the reader gets to know the members of the team and the climbing guides, and relive the adventure and tragedy with him. There are some tear-gerking moments that the movie also captures well, particularly when the accomplished guide Rob Hall makes his final call to his pregnant wife at home.
A year after the book was published, a TV movie was released. There are a few major differences between the book and movie, but both capture the essence of the great tragedy. The movie is a disappointment, however, relative to the excellent storytelling of the book.

At the beginning of the century came to Tierra del Fuego, an Italian priest named Alberto Agostini. His love for these southern lands and inhabited by those who led him to shoot with a camera at the time extensive records of landscapes, towns and people.The material, filmed between 1915 and 1928 and recently rescued, was assembled under the same conditions was found. That means that the images have scratches and marks of time (and the copy is silent) but the result is amazing: the true time capsule to evoke a time and place of our national past that we thought forgotten forever. As poor amateur documentary, is interesting. As an object of historical and educational support is invaluable.

Man VS Volcano

National Geographic joins an international team of scientists on a mission to unlock the hidden secrets of Mt. Nyiragongo, an active volcano in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Beyond the Summit: the Everest Environmental

In 1953, a brave group of visionaries stood on the highest point on earth - the summit of Mt Everest. Their amazing accomplishment was a first.

Forty-seven years later, and unfortunately hundreds of discarded oxygen bottles and tons of debris later, a group of environmentalists endeavour to take this achievement one step further - and conduct the largest environmental cleanup of this extraordinary natural wonder.

One of the most beautiful places on earth, Mt Everest has sadly become a depository for unwanted debris. The highest camp on Everest, Camp 5, is known as the world’s highest trash dump. This documentary follows the largest cleanup expedition of Mt. Everest, a historical event that took place in the spring of 2000.

Littered with hundreds and hundreds of discarded oxygen bottles and tons of garbage, the faces of Mount Everest were in sore need of a full scale cleanup. Two previous teams in 1995 and 1998 lead by Hoffman, recovered over 500 oxygen bottles and removed more than a ton of debris from the mountain. The goal of the 2000 expedition was to continue this high altitude cleanup endeavour, and hopefully to return this unique location to near-original condition in time for the 50th anniversary celebrating the first ascent of 1953.

The film covers the team of Americans and Sherpas - from the spiritual rituals at Base Camp - to the cleanup operation - to the treacherous summit itself.
It also tracks Apa Sherpa’s triumphant record breaking 11th summit and Sherman Bull’s attempt to be the oldest person (63) to ever summit Mt Everest.

Mystery Of MegaVolcano

remote lake in Southeast Asia conceals evidence of Earth's greatest volcanic cataclysm of the last 100,00 years.  Miles beneath its placid surface lies a magma chamber that exploded so violently during the Ice Age that gases and ash may have encircled the globe and blotted out the sun for years on end.  The Toba eruption may have helped kick the climate into an unprecedented freeze and perhaps even pushed ancestral human populations to the brink of extinction.  NOVA pieces together the clues about this great catastrophe and probes questions raised about human evolution and Earth's fragile ecosystems.  Grade 7 and up.  56 minutes.
