Utterly awe-inspiring and a reminder of how so many people are ignored and taken for granted.
Be like nimsdai and know you are magic, magnificent and capable of even more than you dared dream.

I love films about people taking on great challenges, but this is something else! Gurka Nimsdai Purja and his team of four scale the 14 highest mountains over 8000m, and in just 7 months. Spectacular in every way, it's quite a ride, and though there isn't much time to dwell on the details of climbing the individual mountains so it all feels a bit rushed at times (14 mountains in 110 mins) the film still gives overviews which are illustrated well. You wonder what they'll top this achievement with!!
A Nepalese shows it to the world. Anyone who goes mountaineering themselves can certainly assess the enormous performance of the man a bit better than a layman. Nevertheless, it should be said that great things have been achieved here. And the film shows that too. Perhaps he cannot match the emotional strength of Jimmy Chin with his film Free Solo, but it has an important message in it: Sherpas are the real heroes of the mountains, without them many of the western mountaineers would not be able to climb all the 8,000-meter peaks. Nirmal Purja, a little hero.
This was amazing and one of the best I've seen, his a intelligent man with amazing DNA that none of us have his wife is a complete angel for allowing him this freedom to live his dreams
If you like this and you will the doc on Fred Becky is slightly better its available on amazon for a price i think a one day rental was $1.
I loved this movie. It took so much determination, courage and focus on climbing all the higher mountains. This is absolutely a must watch movie/ documentary. The view from the summits is totally incredible.
