A first hand account of what goes on behind the scenes, how Leo made some of his earlier films, narrated by Leo himself - how he filmed Messner's first ascent of Everest without oxygen; and the "kamikaze" kayaking expedition down the raging torrents of the world's highest river, the Dudh Kosi.

Being the true pro that he is, you will see footage filmed from a crevasse in the Khumbu Icefall while Leo was in the midst of rescuing a friend who had fallen into an adjacent crevasse. If you have seen "Eiger Solo", you will be amazed to find that the John Harlin fall re-enactment, for the most part, was done by a live human and not a dummy!
