Daughters of Everest
directed and produced by Sapna Shakya and Ramyata Limbu
This must see 55-minute documentary brings a unique flavor to a
familiar story: the attempt to climb Mount Everest. In 2000, the
first-ever expedition of Sherpa women to climb Everest was organized.
This captivating documentary gives a close-up account of the
expedition. Although the Sherpa people are legendary for their
unmatched skill in mountaineering, Sherpa women are discouraged from
climbing Everest, relegated instead into supporting roles in the
climbing industry of Nepal. Told from a woman's perspective rarely
seen on Everest, this film is both a dramatic and inspiring Everest
story and an absorbing portrait of the Sherpa community.
