Once a symbol of the limits of human adventure and achievement, Mount Everest has become the world’s highest graveyard, with over 300 climbers lost to its slopes and one-third of them Sherpa.
To appease the angry Mountain Gods, famed Nepalese mountaineer and national hero, Mingma Tsiri Sherpa, risks everything to return to Everest’s “Death Zone” one last time and attempt to recover the body of a fallen climber.
Oscar-nominated executive producer Ina Fichman (Fire of Love) teams up with veteran producer Merit Jensen Carr, writer/director/producer Jereme Watt, and his partner, co-creator and writer/producer Michael Bodnarchuk, to tell the extraordinary story of Mingma Tsiri Sherpa in Everest Dark. The film pulls no punches as it explores the profound impacts of the climbing industry on both Mount Everest and the Sherpa people – examining their culture, lives, and future.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A with cinematographer Kyle Sandilands
