Two Israelis and a Palestinian - conquering Everest together

A man stands on the top of the world, holding two flags, sewn together as one. There on Mount Everest, the ridge that straddles heaven and earth, the Israeli and Palestinian flags flutter together in the sharp, merciless wind.

This is the prevailing image in "Everest: A Climb for Peace," a documentary written and directed by Lance Trumbull, the American founder of Everest Peace Project, and recently released on DVD.

The organization aims to "inspire and to show that people from diverse cultural backgrounds and faiths can unite together as friends and accomplish incredible things."

The documentary follows nine climbers, including two Israelis and a Palestinian, during their 2006 bid to conquer the highest mountain on Earth.
