Sir Edmund Hillary himself narrates the first ascent of Mt. Everest, unveiling details never made public before, such as the admiration and respect he professes for his companion at the summit Tenzing Norgay. For the first time, the original footage of the 1953 expedition is coupled with a live soundtrack and it shows how one of the greatest deeds in modern history was undertaken.
