Death Zone: Cleaning Mount Everest

This film could've been one of the better stories ever told about Everest if they just stuck to the Sherpas vs pushing the climate change agenda. It feels extremely messy at times, and would've played out better if they had just showed the incredible journey and danger that is these people's lives. Sherpas have evolved to have better tolerances to high altitudes, stemming from their ancestors living in Nepal at an altitude of 8,000+ feet. There's no mention of that, and the focus instead is on "black carbon" or "changing weather patterns". 7/10 for me, good idea but the film can't decide if it wants to talk about the Sherpas or climate change. It's pretty clear in the film the Sherpas have no idea what the Western world views as a problem, and why should they? They travel on foot with yaks. Would imagine their carbon footprint is better than that of a 5 year old.

Alongside with casting team it was overall a great experience. Thankyou everyone for your acknowledgment on our work of blood, sweat and tears including the care for nature awareness save snow, save lives. We sherpas are always represented for the courage but due to conscience I am humbled for the dead lives our team faced. From my heart I would like to thank director and Nepal Investment as well as team Friends of Save the Himalayas for the organize it was an incredible opportunity. Till this day i have summited it for the thrice times also with my 16 y/old son every time of these moments I carry the will of my deceased friend Namgyal Sherpa.

Thank you all for your love for this film!

Great footage, amazing what they are trying to do. Hated how dramatic they tried to make it. I think anyone knowing a little about climbing Everest would know how reliant climbers are on Sherps and how difficult it is. To me this painted what they do in a less favorable light. They are the heroes of the mountain.this treats the audience like idiots just show what it is. Climbing Everest is dramatic enough. Don't edit and over narate. No need!

After watching this film I have lost all respect for people who have touted having made the summit. In the future, ALL climbers should be heavily taxed and all their gear should be weighed- if they leave anything on the mountain, then they should be heavily fined in addition.

Excellent film.

Want to get the thrill of climbing Everest ? Paying HUGE amounts of money to do it?

The government and the climbing companies should contribute a portion of their profits to the cleaning of this area. Bodies (and body parts) should be allowed by the government to be removed and cremated. Shame on the egos involved.
