Man Underground

Arnold Dix became a hero to millions of people across India when he helped rescue 41 men from a tunnel collapse high in the Himalayas. Man Underground explores the bizarre and circuitous career path that culminated in this moment of international recognition. For Arnold Dix wears many hats – barrister, scientist, flower farmer, truck driver, engineer and tunnelling expert. Dix explains the difficult situation that faced him at the site of the collapse and the pressure he felt as the whole of India became transfixed by the unfolding drama. “We showed the world that good people working together can do the impossible,” he says.
