Default Glider books or movies?

Are there any good stories (books & movies, fiction or nonfiction)
which include a lot of glider flying?

A book about cross country gliding would be perfect... a documentary,
etc.

Thanks

I have a fondness for
'New Soaring Pilot' by Frank Irving and Ann Welch
Classics include "Sunship Game", "Dawn Flight", and "The Boy Who Flew
with Condors" (only recently available on DVD). A short DVD called
"Out & Return" is a good example of the day in the life of the glider
pilot and recruiting tool.

There are some good YouTube productions and examples also.
