Description

At 18,000 feet above sea level, Dianne Whelan spent 40 days immersed in the world of base camp on Mt. Everest, capturing gripping stories of climbers, doctors and Sherpas living in the belly of the mountain. Whelan's documentary film reveals the devastating truth of the human impact on the mountain, as well as the eerie effects of climate change. She shares personal accounts from those who have attempted to conquer the world's most majestic mountain, including Maoist rebels, avalanches and dead bodies surfacing out of a dying glacier. The toll of human desire on the mountain is slowly and irreversibly surfacing at base camp, with experts estimating over 250 bodies buried on the path from base camp to the peak.
