On 13 May 1999, Michael Matthews set a new record, becoming the youngest British climber to summit Mount Everest. He was 22. But in the hours immediately afterwards, during his descent, he disappeared. His body was never found.
In Finding Michael his younger brother, the reality TV star Spencer Matthews, embarks on a very personal mission to locate the body of his brother and bring him home to rest, more than 20 years later. As Michael went missing at above 8,000 metres, in what is known as the “death zone”, any search and recovery mission would be horribly risky, and one of the highest ever undertaken.
