EPiSODE iNFO

A fight on Everest? It seemed incredible. But in 2013 news channels
around the world reported an ugly brawl at 21,000ft as European
climbers fled a mob of angry Sherpas. In 1953, New Zealander Edmund
Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay had reached the summit in a spirit
of co-operation and brave optimism. Now climbers and Sherpas were
trading insults - even blows. What had happened to the happy,
smiling Sherpas and their dedication in getting foreigners to the
top of the mountain they hold so sacred? Determined to explore what
was going on, the filmmakers set out to make a film of the 2014
Everest climbing season, from the Sherpas' point of view. Instead,
they captured a tragedy that would change Everest forever. At 6.45am
on 18th April, 2014, a 14,000 ton block of ice crashed down onto the
climbing route through the Khumbu Icefall, killing 16 Sherpas. It
was the worst tragedy in the history of Everest. The disaster
provoked a drastic reappraisal about the role of the Sherpas in the
Everest industry. SHERPA, tells the story of how, in the face of
fierce opposition, the Sherpas united in grief and anger to reclaim
the mountain they call Chomolungma.
