EVEREST DARK
Director Jereme Watt, producer Michael Bodnarchuk, and cinematographer Scott Simper will be in attendance at the September 19 screening.
Captured with stunning intensity by director Jereme Watt and cinematographer Kyle Sandilands, the film delivers vertigo-inducing visuals and heart-pounding tension. Unlike other Everest documentaries, EVEREST DARK offers a deeply spiritual and culturally grounded point of view, guided by the wisdom and reverence of a man who knows the mountain better than almost anyone alive. EVEREST DARK is an interesting perspective on duty, belief and the price of returning to a place where so many never leave.
In EVEREST DARK, legendary Nepalese mountaineer and national hero Mingma Tsiri Sherpa sets out on one final, perilous mission: to recover a climber’s body and appease the angry mountain gods.
