Description: Seven of Britain's top white-water paddlers challenge the dangerous and difficult rapids and obstacles of the Dudh Kosi River, which plummets down the slopes of Mt. Everest. They negotiate waterfalls, stoppers, ten-foot waves, and thousands of submerged boulders at speeds often greater than 30 mph before reaching their destination 12,000 feet below. A remarkable documentary of an expedition that tested endurance to the limit. Blue Ribbon, 1984 American Film Festival; ALA, 1983 Notable Children's Film.
