Beyond the Edge 3D

BEYOND THE EDGE documents the epic true journey of the heroic and triumphant ascent to the top of Mt Everest by Edmund Hillary, a modest bee-keeper and keen mountaineer from Auckland New Zealand, and the very experienced Sherpa, Tenzing Norgay, of Nepal.

This is a truly experiential film for an audience to not only learn about the legendary expedition, but to be transported into taking part in the action that is 're-lived' on the big screen in 3D as never seen before. Using original colour archival footage and photographs from the time, seamlessly interwoven with interviews as well as dramatic re-creations of the assault, this is a high-altitude 'fly on the wall' look inside one of the most inhospitable environments on earth and man's ability to conquer.

This state-of-the-art feature film weaves together a number of components including dramatic reconstructions, re-enactments, colour archive footage and stills from the 1953 expedition, a number of interviews, graphics and actual newsreel footage.
