Beyond the Everest adventure hides a tragic environmental and human reality, which starts at 8848 meters above sea level and ends in the open dumps of Kathmandu, the most polluted city on the planet. Everest Green is a film about the eponymous expedition which began on April 5, 2017 in Nepal to clean up the slopes of Everest and promote responsible mountaineering. Ten sherpas removed up to 4 tons of trash from the altitude camps. Behind the story of the expedition, there is an environmental and social emergency that the film highlights by showing the incompatibility of the values of the mountains and the open dumps that dot the Himalayas today.
