Holmes - Sir Edmund Hillary's Humanitarian Award
Television (Full Length) – 1996
Paul Holmes interviews Sir Edmund Hillary, a hero and legend to many New Zealanders. Sir Ed has just been awarded the 1997 Humanitarian of the Year Award by the International Variety Club. The award is in recognition for the work Sir Ed has done for the people of Nepal. Sir Ed is celebrating at a function in the TVNZ atrium and is interviewed in a live cross from the (presumably nearby) studio. The moment put Sir Ed alongside Winston Churchill, Helen Keller and Sammy Davis Jr., who were all former recipients of this award.
Sir Edmund has dedicated his life to the people of Nepal, establishing trusts to improve health and education. He spent the past 35 years building hospitals and schools and bridges, fresh water pipelines, even an airfield.– Paul Holmes introduces Sir Edmund Hillary’s Humanitarian of the Year award
