Abstract:

"Against the backdrop of the world's highest mountains, the film portrays the flying missions of a United Nations aircraft in Nepal, a small but essential service in a country where roads are almost non-existent. The specially adapted plane can use rough airstrips carved out of mountainsides to deliver cargoes of food grains, builiding supplies, schoolbooks and other essentials in hours rather than the days and weeks delivery used to take. Available in English, French and Spanish."
