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.
Excellent film.

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!

"Death Zone" is a powerful and poignant documentary that sheds light on the environmental crisis facing Mount Everest. The film follows a team of Nepali climbers on a mission to clean up the mountain, removing tons of discarded equipment and human waste left behind by previous expeditions.
The cinematography is breathtaking, capturing the awe-inspiring beauty of Everest while also showcasing the harsh realities of the "death zone" above 8,000 meters. The film highlights the incredible courage and resilience of the Sherpa climbers, who risk their lives to protect the environment and the sacredness of the mountain.
"Death Zone" is a must-watch for anyone interested in environmental issues, mountaineering, or the human spirit. It's a powerful reminder of the impact we have on the planet and the importance of preserving our natural world.

I'm not a climber, had no previous concept of anything related to mountain climbing until I saw this.
I feel so bad for the Sherpas and the natives who have to deal with this crap that it's nauseating! I've seen a couple of documentaries about Mount Everest but they didn't touch any of these things and I kind of consider that to be sacrilege because without the Sherpas and people monitoring everything then these climbers would be even more screwed.
As far as I'm concerned nobody has any business on this mountain except the natives that ship is in the scientists everyone else needs to stay OFF!!!!!
Egotism to climb- shameful!
