Dr Schweitzer became a 20th century hero when he turned his back on a brilliant career in Europe to run a jungle hospital in the heart of Africa. But in the 1960s the controversy started: was he a saint or racist, a colonialist or a humanitarian? This film visits Schweitzer's hospital in the African jungle to hear from his daughter and people who worked with him. It also explores the radically different views of Schweitzer today - views which reflect the problematic relationship between Africa and the West.

4. Hillary and Tenzing: Everest and After
The series that looks behind the public face of prominent figures continues with a new approach to Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay's ascent to the summit of Mount Everest on 29 May 1953. Their names were linked forever, but the tidal wave of celebrity that engulfed them when they returned soon threatened to drive them apart. Newspapers competed for exclusives, politicians sought to bask in their reflected glory, and nationalists claimed the triumph for their own causes. Behind the clamour, a simple nagging question -who got there first?

First of a two-part profile of the philosopher and peace campaigner who influenced the thinking and attitudes of millions.
