THE BIG OPEN
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.
Braving the challenges of nature in order to save a piece of it, four mountaineers embark upon a 275 miles quest through Tibet's most remote region to follow the mysterious migration of the endangered chiru.
In June 2002, adventurers 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.
