STORM AND SORROW. A true story, based on the best selling book by Robert Craig (We have signed copies, naturally.).
25 year old Molly Higgins has been invited to join the American climbing team on a world-class expedition in the Pamirs in the Soviet Union. Tackling the storm ravaged peaks of a treacherous mountain range is a dangerous task taken on by only a select few.
Molly willingly takes on the challenge, despite her team mates being concerned she is an experienced climber on rocks, but inexperienced on ice. Discriminated against by her male colleagues due to her being a woman Molly finds her abilities questioned, and has to prove herself. But no one can be prepard for the terror that lies ahead.
A dramatisation of the ill fated expedition in which the American Gary Ullin, the Russian climber Elvira Shataeyvn and her full team of woman climbers lost their lives. Filmed in 1990. Color - 91 minutes DVD.
