    God bless these beautiful people

    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.

    A eye opening truth about the ego and waste of the world

    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.

    Good film spoiled by stupid narrative

    Enjoyed the movie and agree that cleaning up the rubbish on the mountain is essential but trying to make out removing iced dead bodies off the mountain is going to make the water cleaner and help global warming I don't think even wee Greta Thunberg would go that far.

    Nice movie

    "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.
