Awarded the gold medal for Best Information/Documentary at the New York International Film Festival, this video traces the journey up Mount Everest's rarely attempted North Call by the climbing team that was formed by Ernie Sniedzins to bring attention to his daughter's debilitating struggle with the mysterious medical condition known as Rett Syndrome. The video offers vivid footage of the team's journey through Nepal, from Katmandu to Kodari, and then through Chinese customs in Zhangmu on to Shegar, Rongbuk Monestary, and Everest Base Camp in Tibet. In just under an hour, we follow the team's expedition through mud, landslides, moraine, and up into Mount Everest's heights.
Narrated by Leslie Neilson; Produced and directed by Michael Collier; Written by Richard Tomkies; Director of photography Robert C. Gibson; Executive producers Michael Collier and Ken Jubenvill; Technical producer Bob Gibson; Climbing cameramen Pat Morrow and Bill Noble; Editors Michael Collier and Bill Campbell; Music Hal Beckett; Production coordinator Lupe Korbut.
