Featured reviews
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!!

Nimsdai (Nims ) Purja was born poor in Nepal. He joined the British army Ghurka regiment where he served for six years before joining the elite SBS where he served a further ten years. That would be plenty for most, but not Nims. After his first mountaineering experience in 2014 he decided to climb 14 of the World's highest and most dangerous peaks. This feat had been achieved before but took eight years to complete. Nims Purja attempted it in 7 months! A single climbing season.
This astounding attempt is documented in this one of a kind movie. Of course the scenery is spectacular but it's eclipsed by the bravery and good hearted dynamism of Nimsdai (Nims ) Purja, a real life superhero.

"14 Peaks: Nothing Is Impossible" is a Documentary in which we watch Nirmal Purja, a Nepali mountaineer trying the impossible task of summit all the 14, 8,000-meter peaks in just seven months.
I liked this documentary very much because it was very interesting, it had a nice plot and the way we followed Nirmal Purja on his quest was very good. The direction which was made by Torquil Jones was also very good since he presented very well Nirmal Purja, his history and his life in general, something that made possible for us to better understand him as a person and even relate to him at some moments. In addition to this, Nirmal Purja was outstanding and what he tried to achieve was simply impossible, that's why he named it project possible. In conclusion, I have to say that "14 Peaks: Nothing Is Impossible" is an amazing documentary and I highly recommend everyone to watch it.

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.
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.
