Sherpa: Trouble On EverestApril 15, 2018

A fight on Everest? It seemed incredible. But in 2013 news channels around the world reported an ugly brawl at 21,000ft as European climbers fled a mob of angry Sherpas. What had happened to the happy, smiling Sherpas and their dedication in getting foreigners to the top of the mountain they hold so sacred? Determined to explore what was going on, director Jennifer Peedom set out to make a film of the 2014 Everest climbing season, from the Sherpas' point of view. Instead, she captured a tragedy that would change Everest forever.

Sherpa: Trouble On Everest was broadcast on SBS ONE at Sunday 31 July 2022, 14:00. This episode was initially placed on Sunday 15 April 2018.
