The original film that inspired the Brad Pitt movie of the same name. Austrian mountain climber Heinrich Harrer found himself interned in an Indian prison camp at the outbreak of World War II. He escaped, crossed the Himalayas at great peril and deprivation, and entered the forbidden country of Tibet where he made friends with the Dalai Lama. Smuggled out of Tibet, his own films are included in this reconstructed account of his long mountainous trek, and actually record the Dalai Lama's escape to India.
