PORTLAND, Ore./EWORLDWIRE/Nov. 26, 2007 --- In Everest: A Climb for Peace, the harsh reality of nations embroiled in brutal war are laid bare when Palestinian and Israeli members of a 9-man group who battle Everest come face-to-face with their very real clashes of belief. Narrated by Orlando Bloom and hailed as a "tremendous achievement" by the Dalai Lama, Everest: A Climb for Peace is now available on DVD. The history-making documentary moves beyond the typical Everest film to render a socially relevant account about peace, war and the human spirit.
From far-flung locations around the globe - Nepal, Tibet, Israel, Palestine, Jordan, U.A.E. and the United States - Director Lance Trumbull captures the spectacular journey of 9 peace climbers from different faiths and cultures as they journey to the highest point on earth. The conflict between the nations of Palestine and Israel is spotlighted as members of the team to Mount Everest - Palestinian Ali Bushnaq and Israeli's Dudu Yifrah and Micha Yaniv - are brought together. Setting aside differences, the team forges upwards on a path of teamwork and cooperation. The internal struggle to accept other faiths and cultures when sides are staunchly opposed is quelled when Peace Project teammates face off in matters concerning life and death. Everest: A Climb for Peace is an inspirational film which exposes some of the most incredible Everest panoramas ever shot, including a dramatic rescue from near the summit of Everest.
The organization behind The Everest Peace Project - individuals who have come together to promote peace, teamwork and cultural understanding, is not based on any religious organization nor affiliated with any political agenda.
"In an atmosphere of peace, and through friendship and teamwork, anything is possible," Director Trumbull stated. "The message of the climb and this film is clear: people of diverse backgrounds can unite together, put aside their cultural and religious differences and accomplish incredible things."
The film is a Dezart Cinematic and Everest Peace Project production.
