Full Plot Details

A fight on Everest? It seemed incredible. But in 2013 news channels around the world reported an ugly brawl at 6400 m (21,000 ft) 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.

Movie Reviews

The Hollywood Reporter - 10/10 by Harry WindsorRarely are documentaries as powerfully polemic and jaw-gapingly spectacular as Sherpa.
Time Out - 10/10 by Tom HuddlestonJennifer Peedom’s film is stunningly photographed (how could it not be?) and brilliantly sly: she gives the tour guides and their rich, self-absorbed charges just enough rope to hang themselves, and they duly oblige. But it’s also a heartfelt tribute to the resilience of a people.
Los Angeles Times - 10/10 by Sheri LindenA documentary whose visual magnificence is more than matched by unforgettable characters and political urgency.
4:3 - 9/10 by Brad MarianoThe single most effective element to Sherpa is Renan Ozturk's cinematography.
Variety - 9/10 by Richard KuipersThis film from experienced Aussie documaker Jennifer Peedom packs an emotional punch to match its awe-inspiring imagery.
Screen International - 9/10 by Sarah WardSherpa swiftly proves as grippingly human and political as it does visually spectacular.
Radio Times - 8/10 by David ParkinsonCombining stunning vistas with intimate insights, Jennifer Peedom's compelling account of life on Mount Everest is an astute appreciation of the Sherpa existence and their value to a $350 million business that often takes them for granted.
Observer (UK) - 8/10 by Mark KermodeFor all its awe-inspiring scenery, this is a story of exploited labour's struggle for power, of workers taking control of their workplace.
The Big Issue - 8/10 by Edward LawrensonWith vertiginous helmet-mounted point-of-views of the slow crawl upwards, the film gives a terrifyingly immediate sense of the dangers the Sherpas face in order to make the trek ready for their wealthy clients.
Empire Magazine - 8/10 by Patrick PetersRefocused on the hoof after the catastrophic 2014 earthquakes, Jennifer Peedom's film pulls no punches in exploring the culture and work of this unheralded group, as well as their frequent exploitation by Westerners.
