Beautifully shot movie, I’d really recommend it. I knew the whole Sherpa to rich western climber thing was messed up, but this movie puts the whole capitalist disregard for human workers lives into fairly sharp relief. Maybe a bit on the nose with that one guy talking about “the Sherpa’s owner”.

    I remember reading a book about climbing Everest for a book report when I was young (Beck Weathers I think) and I didn't realize Sherpas were human beings until like 3/4ths of the way through the book.
