The Wildest Dream - 2010 Documentary/Film about the Mallory/Irvine Everest expedition of 1924.
The route of their ill-fated climb up the North Face is "recreated" by two modern day climbers, one of whom discovered Mallory's
body on an expedition to look for it in 1999. They used modern climbing equipment but they removed the Chinese ladder
from the second step and free climbed it. The letters written between Mallory and his wife Ruth are included as well.
There is some circumstantial evidence that Mallory/Irvine made it to the summit before they died on the return journey and
this film attempts to see whether it was possible in theory they could have reached the summit rather than if they actually did it.
More a documentary than a drama-documentary like 'Touching the Void' for example.
