Synopsis	A fight on Everest? It seemed incredible. But in 2013 news channels around the world reported an ugly brawl at 6400 m (21000 ft) as European climbers fled a mob of angry Sherpas. In 1953 New Zealander Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay had reached the summit in a spirit of co-operation and brave optimism. Now climbers and Sherpas were trading insults - even blows. What had happened to the happy smiling Sherpas and their dedication in getting foreigners to the top of the mountain they hold so sacred? Determined to explore what was going on the filmmakers set out to make a film of the 2014 Everest climbing season from the Sherpas' point of view. Instead they captured a tragedy that would change Everest forever. At 6.45am on 18th April 2014 a 14000 ton block of ice crashed down onto the climbing route through the Khumbu Icefall killing 16 Sherpas. It was the worst tragedy in the history of Everest. The disaster provoked a drastic reappraisal about the role of the Sherpas in the Everest industry. SHERPA tells the story of how in the face of fierce opposition the Sherpas united in grief and anger to reclaim the mountain they call Chomolungma.
