Under The Eye Of Qomolangma

The documentary details the efforts of the French High Mountain Military Group (G.M.H.M.) expedition, which took place over approximately ninety days. Led by General Pierre Astorg, fifteen military climbers aimed to conquer the formidable north face of Everest, standing at 8,848 meters.

Despite their meticulous preparation, the expedition ultimately failed to reach the summit, falling less than 300 meters short. Factors such as adverse weather conditions and the physical state of the climbers contributed to this outcome. The film provides an in-depth look at mountaineering challenges and the harsh realities of high-altitude climbing, particularly in the treacherous Himalayan environment.
