Sherpa plot
"Some Live to Climb. They Climb to Live."
In 2014, director Jennifer Peedom was working on a documentary about the Sherpas of Mount Everest when the largest avalanche in recent history occurred on the mountain, killing 16 Sherpas. It changed the focus of the documentary, but not so much the one that wanted to portray the growing unrest of the Sherpa community. Unrest created by the fatal accidents, which are only increasing as the number of expeditions has increased in recent years. The documentary shows the split in which the Sherpas and their families find themselves.
