The Mountain
For most young people an Operation Raleigh expedition is a chance to live and work with remote communities all over the world. For a few, it provides an opportunity to make a film.
Tonight's film, the first in a series of six, is made by a team from the National Film
School. It follows a young engineer from London's
Underground who leads a team up a glacier in the mountains of southern Chile. He has never been out of England before; the contrast between his normal urban life and these totally alien surroundings gives him a very different perspective on life: 'Ealing to Cockfosters - no problem. But how do they expect me to find a route up a mountain?'
Edited and directed by MOLLY DINEEN Series producer BELINDA ALLEN
