It took Jeffrey Gold over five months to get the movie off the ground due to inclement weather conditions, equipment access, and transportation issues to and from Little Gransden, Cambridgeshire, England.
Shown repeatedly on E-TV in Cambridgeshire, England between May and June of 1997.
The film was intended to serve two purposes: to be a self-standing documentary and also to serve as a recruitment film for the Cambridge University Gliding Club, of which Jeffrey Gold was a member.
The film was made in cooperation with the Cambridge University Film Makers (CineCam) (formerly Cambridge University Film and Television Society, CFTV), of which Jeffrey Gold is a lifetime member (other lifetime members include 'Emma Thompson'_).
The documentary's narrator, Stephanie Pursglove, was a fellow member of Fitzwilliam College. Although she had never narrated before, she narrated flawlessly. As an example, the recordist obtained the reading of the free-verse poem, "A Scared Privilege", by Eli Khamarov, from her second attempt of the full read-through. She had never read the poem before.
