Sherpa

Sherpa (2015) is a powerful documentary that primarily evokes deep Sadness and Melancholy due to the tragic loss of life in the 2014 Everest icefall collapse. Viewers experience strong Empathy for the Sherpa community, as the film deliberately tells the story from their perspective, highlighting their immense sacrifices and the injustices they face. Anger is also a significant emotion, directed at the exploitation of Sherpas and the initial conflict with Western climbers. Despite the tragedy, there's a notable sense of Inspiration and Hope as the Sherpas unite to demand change and reclaim their sacred mountain, alongside Awe for the formidable environment of Everest itself and Anxiety and Fear stemming from its inherent dangers.
