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”.
Late to this but thanks for the recommendation, the movie was great. All power to the sherpas and fuck those bourgeois pieces of shit who exploit them. The tour operator called the sherpas “irrational” and one of the American climbers described them as “terrorists.” It’s like, jesus, if you idiots can afford to blow $50,000 or whatever to climb a fucking mountain I think you’ll manage to overcome this. Just unbelievable.
