Every spring, Mount Everest draws in people from around the world to conquer its peak. Despite the riches surrounding the highest point on Earth, the Sherpa people who live in its shadow remain poor with few educational opportunities. One man hoping to change this reality is Apa Sherpa, a child of the Khumbu and world-record holder for summiting Everest. Like many before him, Apa Sherpa was pulled from home at the age of 12 to work on the mountain as a high-altitude porter. Now, the Apa Sherpa Foundation is working to create a different future for the children of Nepal. As Apa says, "without education we have no choice."

Amazing cinematography, pure art! Since my childhood I've been fascinated by the Himalaya and the epic stories of climbing. 2 years ago I finally went there and did the Everest trek, this year Annapurna trek. What can one say, you simply fall in love with Himalaya and it's people and have desire to return all the time, it's never enough. Watching these films now, that I've been there and seen it with my own eyes, has completely different meaning and feeling than before. Countless times, while hiking there, I thought how our kids are so spoiled, they have no idea what hard life is, they cry like crazy if you don't buy them some silly toy in the shopping mall, although they have house full of toys already. And these kids in Himalaya don't have nothing, many of them have to hike for hours every day just to get to school and back. I watched porters carry the loads of insane proportions, bent like trees in the wind, and yet they smile all the time.

@robanderson4137 4 года назад

You do realize that the sherpa live off of the Mountain Climbing Industry right? There is no other opportunity in the area. Education has little value when the only job is to serve those who can pay you to carry their stuff. That's not to say these people don't have a choice...they can always leave and go somewhere else with lots of opportunity, then an education might be of some value.

I have a feeling you don’t really understand the film. What the film is trying to tell you is that the feeling, the state of mind, the motivation is that of someone who is forced to take a job he don’t really like for survival. To a foreigner, climbing Everest is like stepping on top of the world, to him, it’s just taking another risky job to make ends meets.

Was done with "heroic stories" of foreigners after watching this. Sherpas are the true heroes of Himalayas. They are significantly underpaid for what they do. Risking their lives to fulfill their clients Everest dream and also be their cook, porter and what not. Its devastating that they don't get enough respect for what they do. They are the real sportsman and they don't even do it for entertainment, they do it to fulfill their families needs. They are the true heroic stories of Everest and the mountains knows it well than any other.

@SpaghettiKillah 5 лет назад

While what you say is true and I do agree they should be paid more, let's also look at it the other way. The tourists/climbers give these people the chance to earn 5-6 k $ / season which is about 10 times MORE what the "regular" people make up there. These are figures from a well-known documentary. What the best solution would be is if the sherpas themselves start asking for more...it's not like westerners have a choice...either they get help from the sherpas or 99% of them would not even make it to 7 thousand meters let alone climb to the top ! P.s. even with the relative "low" pay they give the sherpas the actual cost / person to climb the Everest is anywhere between 40k $ to 100 k $ (depends on how big the group is and ao on). Only the Government permit / climber is 11k $ if I remember correctly 😳

It wouldn’t be, for example, “luck of RU-vid draw”, that anyone finds out. And this can be said of innumerable, critical, life altering truths. Don’t hold back if you hold the truth on anything.

The risks they take and the sacrifices they make are truly extraordinary. They should be paid far more than they are and they should be recognized as the sole reason 99.9% of those who aren't Sherpas are able to summit Mt. Everest. The real heroes.

It was interesting to see how this narrative was conveyed through the generations of his family and community, where there might now be hope of granting more choices to young people in rural Nepal through education and thus eliminating the need to risk their lives on Everest.

Makes me wonder if there were undocumented Sherpas climbing the peak before Sir Edmund Hillary. They make it look so easy as part of life.

I think the most powerful statement in this video was “without education you have no choice”. That explains all of the inner cities in the United States!

This is literally one of the best if not the best video I’ve ever seen editing was spectacular every detail that went into this project this goes to show how only hard working people live in Nepal and to what extent they will get to to feed and send their kids to school when I was 10 I developed a passion for high mountains and climbing and I always had the biggest respect for Sherpa and Nepalese people 🇳🇵💪🏻❤️

Instead of spending 10’s of thousands of dollars on the climb, invest it in the people. And if you do want to climb : Carry your own stuff and take your trash with you on the way down

@zinho9169 5 лет назад

Nepalese Government won't let you do that, it's very illegal. The permit money they receive from climbers is the reason they let so many people climb each year and why they need so many sherpas.
