Death Zone: Cleaning Mount Everest

"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.

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.

Great documentary showing the pollution caused by Everest expeditions, the Sherpa are such hardworking people.

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.

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.
