Daughters of Everest- Best Film on Climbing
Banff Mountain Film Festival

AWARD WINNER - Best Film on Climbing
Daughters of Everest
USA, 2004, 55 Minutes
Directed & produced by Sapana Sakya & Ramyata Limbu
In 2000, the first-ever expedition of Sherpa women to climb Everest was organized. This documentary gives a close-up account of the expedition. Although the Sherpa people are legendary for their unmatched skill in mountaineering, Sherpa women are discouraged from climbing Everest, relegated instead to support roles in the climbing industry of Nepal. Told from a woman's perspective rarely seen on Everest? Or off? This film is both a dramatic, inspiring Everest story and an absorbing portrait of the Sherpa community.
