Polish climbers are the only conquerors of the highest mountains in winter. They were the first to reach Mount Everest in winter, and then went on to conquer other peaks of the Himalayan eight-thousanders. Andrzej Zawada, the most eminent leader of high-altitude expeditions, will tell the stories of the most dangerous expeditions and the greatest successes of Polish Himalayan climbers. Viewers will learn about the history of winter ascents by climbers such as Jerzy Kukuczka, Wanda Rutkiewicz, Krzysztof Wielicki, and others. The program will feature film footage from expeditions in the Hindu Kush and the Himalayas.
