In Hillary, a new television series from TV ONE, the story of one our most iconic Kiwis is brought to life in epic fashion. From his childhood in South Auckland to the plane crash that killed his wife and daughter, Hillary is an in-depth look at the man that conquered more than just Mount Everest.
Woman’s Day headed along to an exclusive screening of the upcoming show, which is set to debut on Sunday, August 21 on TV ONE and TVNZ OnDemand.
