I was drawn to the documentary as Alison and I share the same surname - no relation. I am also a keen skier but am no mountaineer.
The documentary is a very sad but true account of this family's love affair with mountaineering. I found the parent's decisions selfish due to the young infant children which accompanied them (easy for me to say sitting at home in the warm having not experienced their way of life). In all, this is an incredibly touching documentary with a very happy family now paying the ultimate price.
