Con una altura de 29,029 pies, el monte Everest ha cautivado durante mucho tiempo a los montañistas de todo tipo. Pero un pico que atrae a atletas y montañistas a nuevas alturas no está exento de peligro, o de un lado oscuro.

En Lost on Everest, seguimos a un equipo de escaladores de élite con nueva información sobre la ubicación de su cuerpo perdido y se dispuso a resolver lo que podría ser el gran misterio del montañismo.

Ashes to Ashes
Producer
America has yet to heal from the trauma of its darkest era, and Winfred Rembert is living proof of that. Rembert, who lived on a plantation, joined the civil rights movement as a teen and was put to work on a chain gang, is a rare survivor of a lynching attempt. Decades later, he still carries the scars. “That lynching is on my back, and it’s dragging me down, even today,” he says. As he etches the history, bloodsoaked and cruel, into leatherwork, fellow artist Dr. Shirley Jackson Whitaker organizes a different kind of ceremony to search for healing. “It’s not just black history,” she says. “This is American history.”
