Mountain Queen: The Summits of Lhakpa Sherpa 2024

Description: At a Whole Foods Market in Connecticut, a Nepalese woman working at the counter goes unnoticed. The focal point of this documentary revolves around her. Lhakpa Sherpa, a single mother, commutes to work using public transportation. Unbeknownst to those around her, she has successfully summited Mount Everest multiple times in her home country. What is even more remarkable is her extraordinary achievement, showcasing her exceptional physical and mental strength, especially considering her background as an illiterate woman in a male-dominated society. The filmmaker presents snippets from an interview with the vibrant Sherpa, who fluently speaks English she has worked hard to master. Her vibrant traditional attire sharply contrasts with her later appearance in mountaineering attire. You can watch this documentary in HD on Afdah 2024.
