About:
In 1991, in a field near the Nepalese hamlet of Gokyo, four men climbed
into two fragile wicker baskets and poured flame into their hot air
balloons. They were to become the first balloonists to fly over Mount
Everest. For Leo Dickinson and Chris Dewhirst, the cameraman and pilot
in one of the balloons, the flight was to settle old scores after three
previous attempts and several life-threatening crashes. This documentary
follows their successful flight over the finest panorama on earth in
the oldest of flying machines, before their final crash landing in a
remote corner of Tibet. Their voyage remains the only balloon flight
over Everest to this day.
