Synopsis

In 2013, global media covered a violent confrontation on a mountain as European climbers were forced to flee by an angry group of Sherpas. Director Jennifer Peedom and her team aimed to investigate the incident and document the 2014 climbing season from the Sherpa perspective. Instead, they witnessed one of Everest's worst disasters, when a large block of ice fell onto the climbing route.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
