Sherpa

A moving story of courage and greed, set against the magnificent backdrop of Everest.

This documentary was filmed during the calamitous 2014 climbing season, when 16 Sherpa guides were killed while moving across an ice-flow to aid Western climbers. Following the disaster, climbers and Sherpa’s entered into a tense mountaintop stalemate. This exhilarating film exposes many truths about money, Nepal and the meeting of first and third worlds atop this alluring, spiritual peak.
