Sub-titled Fight to film Everest.

A fascinating hour on the various attempts to climb and to film Everest.

On iPlayer, BBC4.

Fascinating.

I'm not sure if things have improved much but the fatality rates used to be something like 1 in 6 on Everest and 1 in 3 on K2

Watched The Epic transfixed, the bravery of those men with the equipment that they had was astonishing. Fantastic music too, especially in the early bit dealing with the locals.
