About this film in updates: New review: Tenzing: A Story of Courage and Recognition

About the film

The story follows Tenzing Norgay, a Sherpa who dreams of reaching the highest peak in the world. When he gets the opportunity to join an expedition to Mount Everest alongside New Zealand mountaineer Edmund Hillary, he faces one of the greatest challenges of his life. Supported by his wife Dawa and ally Jill Henderson, Tenzing strives to prove to expedition leader John Hunt that he deserves to be a full member of the team. The climbers face a dangerous ascent complicated by rivalry, social prejudice, and differing attitudes toward the mountain sacred to the Sherpa people. Together with Hillary, Tenzing sets out toward the summit in pursuit of his lifelong dream.

Editorial review
