The documentary "Edith: Porsche’s Volcano Ascent" captures the remarkable journey of a Porsche 911 climbing the world's tallest volcano, Ojos del Salado in Chile. This film, now available on Delta Air Lines' in-flight entertainment until spring 2025, showcases the perseverance and challenges faced by a dedicated team over four and a half years.
In December, viewers in the United States and United Kingdom gained access to this 50-minute documentary through Prime Video Direct. The film highlights the team's determination, overcoming two failed attempts before finally reaching the summit. At that altitude, only aircraft were higher than the Porsche 911.
