I believe this has gotten a re-release with Patrick Stewart providing the narration--although I'm not 100% sure. I do know that as of June 2019, it is streaming on Amazon Prime in USA. This is a really interesting documentary about the difficulties of Everest. There are many ways that you can tell an interesting story about the highest point on Earth and this one comes from the perspective of the Sherpa and their quest to de-trash the mountain. It's very matter-of-fact with most of the camera work on the ascent being shot on GoPro's worn by the Sherpa themselves. It totally works and Patrick Stewart's narration does a good job filling in any gaps. The Sherpa themselves are interesting and give us a great perspective on their experience. It's a great watch for people who appreciate the environment and are interested in being a good steward. It's illuminating to see exactly what the climbers see and understand the risks of their lifestyle. Would recommend!

Flames of a Continuous Field of Time (2022)
0 /10
This film travels through a multitude of voices attempting to be choicelessly aware of the interdependent nature of our existence in a system that has, for thousands of years, dehumanized Dalit women's bodies and existence. In the film, we live through the experiences of injustice, resilience, and resistance of women from the Dalit community, examining the ever-reproducing nature of an oppressive society by invoking the art of seeing, learning, and listening.

The Icefall Doctor (2022)
0 /10
Angnima Sherpa, the original "Icefall Doctor", has held the most dangerous job on earth on the slopes of Mt. Everest for 30+ years. A kaleidoscopic and meditative view on his last season as leader of the Icefall Doctors before his death. Some of Everest's bravest Sherpas are "Icefall Doctors", whose daily job is facing possible death walking into the Khumbu Icefall on Everest to manage the route, save climbers, and assure Western mountaineers will have an opportunity at the top of the world. Leader of an unappreciative trade, unrecognized by most Everest enthusiasts, Angnima and his team were a mythical band of hardcore Sherpas, and unfamiliar to a majority of the world. His story reveals culture, commitment to family, chasms of class & financial inequity; and overall hangs the fog of environmental stewardship. In his directorial debut, this award-winning film from Sean Burch offers a refreshingly direct approach to documentary and underrepresented communities.
