Everest Revisited 1924-2024, uses extensive historical footage plus interviews with Everest scholars and mountaineers to tell the story of the 1924 Everest expedition, and to ask questions about what the mountain means to climbers and Nepalis 100 years on from this famous expedition.
To reach the highest point on our planet is at once a measure of our ambition and achievement, and at the same time, of our frailties and vanity. Julie Summers, the great niece of Sandy Irvine, and mountaineer and narrator Matt Sharman, seek insights in interviews with many well-known climbers including Sir Chris Bonington, Rebecca Stephens, Krish Thapa, Stephen Venables, Dawson Stelfox and Leo Houlding. Observations on historical and social impacts are provided by Dr. Jonathan Westway and Ed Douglas, while Dr. Melanie Windridge talks about the beginnings of the science of Everest.
