HulheviMEDIA has just released a preview of its latest film Maldivians on Mountains, now in post production, on YouTube. The film, shot on HD, follows Olympic swimmer Ahmed Imthiyaz (Freddy) and our own resident producer and director Ahmed Shafeeu (Narcu) as they trek in the foothills of the Nepal Himalaya to Mount Everest.
Interesting bits to watch out for:

1:13: Halfway up Kala Pattar (5,600m), where the Nepali cabinet held its famous meeting a week after we summited. The black peak in the background is Mount Everest.
1:16: Ahmed crossing the snowbound Cho La mountain pass (5,300m).
1:18: Narcu heaves himself up the final boulder to summit Kala Pattar.
1:22 Ahmed summitting Gokyo Peak (5400m), the turquoise Second and Third Lakes and the famed Ngozumpa Glacier, the longest in the Himalaya, below him.
