Kilimanjaro: To the Roof of Africa

Everest director and mountaineer David Breashears takes us on a breathtaking IMAX field trip from the muddy rainforest at the foot of this legendary dormant volcano to its magnificent summit. Anyone wanting to scout an adventure-vacation destination point or merely make an armchair visit to some of the most glorious vistas in the world should follow along as a Chagga mountain guide escorts five trekkers who range in age from 12 to 64 up 19,000 feet and through five individual climate zones. The commentary is innocuously informational, and the trip tension-free, but the mere exploration of the landscape here, which includes high desert and glaciers, is akin to a religious experience.
