Imprisoned in a British P.O.W. camp in East Africa in 1943, Felice Benuzzi and his Italian comrades looked out onto the beautiful Mount Kenya, a symbol of everything that was beyond the grasp of their daily drudgery.
For Felice, though, this was a temptation too far. Using only equipment manufactured from what was available in the camp, and stockpiling their meagre rations, Felice and two friends planned a daring escape past armed guards, and attempted to scale the 17,000 foot mountain, encountering threats from rhinos and leopards, and risking perilous falls, deadly temperatures and starvation
This is an astonishing true story of courage and adventure; of three men who decided, in the midst of the horrors and banalities of the Second World War, that they had a mountain to climb.
