Sherpa
The BAFTA nominated film, SHERPA from Director Jennifer Peedom, takes a poignant look at how Mount Everest’s Sherpa community united in grief and anger to reclaim the mountain following the deadly avalanche that struck on April 18, 2014, killing 16 of their members. The project originally began as a documentary about the upcoming climbing season from the Sherpas' point of view after a highly-publicised confrontation in 2013 between Western climbers and a group of Sherpas. Peedom and her team planned to focus on legendary Sherpa Phurba Tashi's world record-breaking attempt to summit Everest for the 22nd time. Instead, they captured the single deadliest day in the mountain's history after an avalanche struck the Khumbu Icefall, the area just above Mt. Everest base camp. Through the voices of the guides themselves, their families, and the climbers who were preparing to summit when the disaster struck, SHERPA chronicles an historic moment of tragedy and resistance. The disaster provoked a drastic reappraisal of the Everest climbing industry, and it served as a turning point for many of the Sherpas and their families as they considered whether to continue working on the mountain.
