In a new documentary called Finding Michael, the Made in Chelsea star will attempt to recover his brothers body by retracing the path he took 23 years ago.
Speaking to Disney +, Spencer said:
“It was important for me to get my head around the fact I might come face to face with my brother’s frozen body.”
“I knew it was going to be a gut-wrenching and emotional journey.”
“[…] Over the last eighteen months or so we’ve been making a documentary film about this once in a lifetime journey to the highest point on earth.”
“I am now proud to announce, together with @DisneyPlusUK that early next year we will bring you Finding Michael, a strong and powerful story of brotherly love.”
“This has been the most meaningful and humbling experience of my own life and it is hoped the film will deliver my brave brother the decent legacy that he earned when so young. “
Heartbreaking.
