Product DescriptionIn 1998 twelve women embarked on an extraordinary expedition up Alaska's Mt. McKinley. At 20,320 feet, just below the Arctic Circle, it is the highest peak in North America. The conditions they faced on one of the world's most treacherous mountains were the worst in decades. Climbing Mt. McKinley was not their only journey. Of the twelve women attempting to reach the summit, five also survived breast cancer. Teamed up with seven young women determined to beat the odds, their powerful story is a testament to the strength and courage of women in the face of life threatening challenges. Gloriously filmed in the mountainous peaks of Alaska, narrated by Academy Award winner, Olympia Dukakis, and featuring an extraordinary soundtrack, this is an adventure not to be missed.

Amazon.comA solid documentary about the heroic expertise of the Sherpa--young Asian men and women schooled at the revered yet secretive Himalyan Mountaineering Institute to help expeditions climb Mount Everest JOSH FEIT- The Seattle Stranger "Every 'student of life', plus those interested in multi-cultural studies, women's studies and mountain climbing should see this film" - Metropolitan Theater, Spokane DOCUMENTARY WINNER TELLURIDE INDIEFEST "Sherpa- The Proving Grounds" utilizes climbing legends such as Jim Whittaker and Nawang Gombu Sherpa to tell an unconventional story. Already regarded as controversial in many climbing circles, this film compels viewers and climbers to look at the term "Mountaineer" closely. Weaved within the trials and tribulations of the Sherpa tribe are the struggles and successes of the women, as they undertake the demanding training program at the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute. Some are there simply to test their physical and mental capabilities while others strive to become the backbone of modern-day high-altitude expeditions. For whatever reasons, they all will find their own personal Summit. This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.

Amazon.comThis documentary about extreme athletes challenging dangerous but awesomely beautiful conditions in Hawaii features an offbeat format in which the cameramen are often shown doing their work, so the film itself has a curious "making of" feel to it. Shot with IMAX cameras, the video features awesome footage of "tow in" surfers, intrepid souls who are towed with jet skis onto enormous waves, which they then surf down so that it appears as if they are snowboarding down a mountain. The surfers appear in interviews, with one describing the challenge as "the culmination of everything you've learned in surfing." The massive walls of water look like they really belong in a National Geographic special about extreme weather, and it's a little unsettling to see men challenging these monsters. Much of the footage was shot from helicopters, and even footage of the camera-carrying choppers ducking in and out of the waves is heart-stopping. Other segments on the video feature astonishingly gorgeous IMAX footage of rock climbers tackling towers of stone in Arizona, and again techniques of intrepid cameramen are prominently featured in the production. A concluding segment featuring windsurfers tackling enormous waves in Hawaii concludes a production that is as visually pleasing as it is exciting. --Robert J. McNamara

Amazon.comThere are always two stories in mountain climbing, the story of the mountain and the story of the people trying to climb it. We know the story of Everest well after the tragic news stories and the IMAX film about it. There may be more technically difficult mountains to climb, but none have the mystique of Everest. Above All Else is the story of Alan Hobson and Jamie Clarke's third and final attempt to scale the mountain. The two climbers, who had failed twice in 10 years to conquer Everest--once only 400 meters from the top--balance each other well; Clarke's surfer style is offset by Hobson's thoughtfulness. Clarke never lets things get too serious as he mugs for the camera, describing avalanche footage as "cool." Hobson on the other hand openly expresses the concentration it takes to suspend fear when crossing crevasses, moving beneath house-size chunks of ice that could fall at any moment, or climbing up high in the dead zone where there is hardly any oxygen. Knowing how Hobson feels about the risks makes the scenes in the terrible Khumbu icefall, a maze of broken ice and crevasses, much more frightening. The film also shows parts of an expedition that are rarely seen, from the tedious organizational work that takes place before a climb, to the practice runs in the Canadian Rockies. There is also a touching scene of the mountaineers' families huddled next to a fax machine half a world away waiting to hear about the climbers' fate. While Hobson and Clarke give the film a human element, the star is Mount Everest. The cinematography is well shot and there are some epic scenes of the peak. It is hard to understand what it takes to climb Everest, but Hobson says it best when he describes crossing the Hillary Step: "Eight thousand meters down on one side is China, eight thousand meters down on the other side is Nepal, and you are standing on a ridge all of two to three feet long. It just takes you apart emotionally." In its own way Above All Else does the same, while showing the deep, desolate beauty of Everest and the humanity of the climbers trying to attain its epic peak. --Aaron Abrams

Product DescriptionNarrated by Orlando Bloom and hailed as a "tremendous achievement" by the Dalai Lama. Everest: A Climb for Peace is not just a typical Everest film, but a socially relevant documentary about peace, war, and the human spirit - an inspirational film, which has some of the most incredible Everest footage ever shot, including a dramatic rescue from near the summit of Everest.Filmed on location in Nepal, Tibet, Israel, Palestine, Jordan, U.A.E, and the United States, the film chronicles the spectacular journey of 9 'peace climbers' from different faiths and cultures as they climb to the summit of the tallest mountain in the world. The focus is on Palestinian Ali Bushnaq and Israeli's Dudu Yifrah and Micha Yaniv. They come together and set aside their differences to forge a path of teamwork and cooperation to attempt to summit the worlds highest peak. This however, is easier said than done. Their nations have been embroiled in a brutal war for years; each believes they are on the right side of that war and each knows that on Everest the cooperation of your teammate is a matter of life and death.
