Filmmakers Dom Bush and Matt Sharman travel from the dusty archives of the Alpine Club to Nepal in search of the exact spot from where, in 1899, the first photographic images of Everest were taken. Part travelogue, part mystery and part tribute to mountain photographer Vittorio Sella, the film probes our obsession with Everest and mountain photography.
