VIDEO: “The Dark Side of Mount Everest”
A visually captivating story about the rugged beauty of the Himalayas told from the rare perspective of Sherpas, without whom no expedition could take place. 19-time Everest conqueror Mingma Tsiri Sherpa breaks the word given to his family and sets off on a final, dangerous mission to “Mother Earth Goddess”, as Mount Everest is called in Nepali. He wants to cleanse the sacred mountain from the bodies of the Himalayists, for whom the conquest of the summit ended tragically. It is a moving story about respect for nature, deep Buddhist spirituality and the value of human ambition. The Sherpa expedition also shows us the exact way to the highest peak of the world. “The Dark Side of Mount Everest” was one of the most popular titles of the 22nd edition of the Millennium Docs Against Gravity festival.
