Sherpa Official Trailer 1 (2015) - Documentary HD
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 million 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.

We Sherpa people have a great respect for that mountain. She's the mother God of the Earth Over here we climb the mountain but it's a holy place. Western people approach it as a physical challenge. To see how close you can get to death. We've had a hundred and twenty Sherpas or so that have died so far. The risks that people were making the Sherpas take what is the moral justification for that? "Roughing it on Mount Everest. Hot towels and tea in the morning". My father said "I wish I had never
climbed this mountain" "They're angry. Yes they are. For lack of respect". "Every time I send the Sherpas up on the mountain It's like sending them off to war I don't know who's going to come home". [on radio: pull that Sherpa off and bring him down to the helipad]

Absolutely disgusting the way some of the foreigners talked about the sherpa. "Could you not go talk to his owner?" Absolute ignorance, with slavery and privilege engrained in some Americans.
i just finished watching the movie. i'd be lying if i'd say i wasn't moved at all. some parts have brought me to tears. massive massive respect to Sherpas.
I have a soft spot for tenzing norgay. He just smiled and later admitted he wish he had never climbed Chumolongmo. Thats a huge statement considering what he did.
I came here after watching Sherpa in Netflix, and I found out that I'm not the only one feeling the same about Russel and other foreigners. Without the Sherpas , not 1 can climb ME
This Russell guy disgusts me! Not an ounce of respect for the ones who lost their lives! These Sherpas are the ones who are feeding his belly.. not the other way around! It’s just business and money for him... 🤬
Those Sherpas should get organised and set up their own Company. Cut out these greedy Westerners that exploit them, and completely rip them off.
Just watched this movie on Netflix, so well shot and emotional too. I felt so uncomfortable with certain tourists who had come to climb the mountain and also Russell the coordinator of the expidition. Some parts made me feel they were so ignorant towards the culture of the locals, they clearly didn't want to climb because they believe God resides in the mountain and the God wasn't happy but they made it a whole political thing and started calling it a terrorist captivity, they lost 13 sherpas 3 bodies not found and they think the decision was taken only by a few? People in developing countries are more close knit, they aren't individualistic, they grow with their family and continue to live with their family even after they turn 18 years old because they believe they should be there for their elders. How can you just decide that the Sherpas were being threatened, they probably decided it because they take those 13 men who died as family, at least give them some time to grieve.
Russell showed that he is only interested in making money from Everest and from Sherpas. He has no compassion for the families of those who were killed in the avalanche and called the Sherpas a mob just because they wanted better conditions to work in and get better paid for doing most of the work involved in getting climbers up Everest. I hope an avalanche gets him one day.
Just watched the film. Russel Brice is an unbelievable orientalist rich coloniser, calling Sherpas who didn’t want to disrespect their dead fallen comrades memory by climbing over their still fresh bodies renegades? The way he kept patronising them and calling these grown men boys, treating their righteous anger as childish? What a filthy man. I hope an avalanche gets him and he gets as much respect as he gives the good Sherpa people, less than none. I am so saddened by the fact that Tenzing Norgay suffered so much and regretted ever climbing the mountain and I am glad to se his children defend his legacy and his opinions. Westerns need to stop climbing this mountain. Their arrogance is just as tall and it is shocking. That is the finest mountain in the world and is sacred to many people,it is not a bucket list or selfie destination. May the Sherpa people win their rights and stop being treating as Slaves by the west and the Nepali government
No sympathy for the people who still want to climb Everest after all those sherpas died. If that ain't a sign that you shouldn't go up, I don't know what is.
Russel should be band from Nepal . Slavery comes to mind . Big up the Sherpas
i am a nepali boy ,currently i am 16 years old ,i did spend my childhood in himalayan area later i went to ktm for higher education as well as to make career.
That Russell just ripped all them guys off, his guides face when he sat there lying. The guide even said he hadn't been threatened.
i truly do hope everyone and their families got compensated fairly for this documentary.
Shame on Russell to emphasize how badly the Sherpas need money. It is not the reason why you squeeze every last drop of the employees. But he is only #2 murder. #1 is Nepal government.
Woww the Sherpa are truly beautiful people who have so much respect for the mountain and life, I also love the respect the Sherpa men show to their wives and families and am in awe of them. If I had the money to come out Nepal I would sooner give my money to a family there or a community than climb the mountain, as that would be way more beautiful as respectful under the vision of the mountain. That Russell needs to go back to his own country and learn respect as I imagine all he sees are dollar figures when he looks at them beautiful spirits. I watched the video and was saddened by the use of words that some of those foreigners used, some of them have way too much ego... If any of the Sherpa read this then I'd like to say not everyone from other countries is like that. Respect!
Proud to be nepali our real hero sherpa
Greed has taken hold that kiwi! And manipulation followed close behind
Russell Brice is such a terrible gaslighter and person, talking about these sherpas ruining the long running image of the smiling sherpa, yeah right bud.
Beautiful movie.
