| Description: |
In June 2002, four mountaineers set out to follow the migration of the chiru - the Tibetan Antelope - to verify the calving grounds of this endangered animal. Although it is the greed of mankind that has brought the chiru to near extinction, this is an optimistic tale about how human concern can save them. |
| Synopsis: |
On foot and on their own, four adventurers brave the challenges of nature on a 275-mile trek through one of the most beautiful and most remote regions of the world." |
