Synopsis
Beyond the Everest adventure lies a tragic environmental and human reality, which starts at an altitude of 8848 meters and ends in the open-air dumps of Kathmandu, the most polluted city on the planet…
About
Everest Green is a film about the eponymous expedition that began on April 5, 2017 in Nepal to clean the slopes of Everest and promote responsible mountaineering. Ten Sherpas evacuated up to 4 tons of waste from the high camps.
Behind the story of the expedition, it is an environmental and social emergency that Everest Green puts forward by highlighting the incompatibility of mountain values and the open dumps that line the Himalayas today.
