Made In Chelsea star Spencer Matthews features in this hugely emotional documentary about his quest to try to find his brother Michael's body and bring him home.

In 1999, Michael Matthews became the youngest person to reach the summit of Everest aged just 22, but disappeared hours later and was never seen again until another mountaineer contacted the Matthews family to say that he had spotted a body which appeared to be in the same clothing.

Days after his wife Vogue Williams gave birth to their third child, Spencer set out on a mission to try to find the body and, if it is Michael, bring him home, which is documented in this film.
