Sherpa: People Of The Mountain

Bordering Nepal and Tibet, we find the highest mountains in the world; the Himalayas. This is the home for the Sherpas, from where the first man to climb Mount Everest came from. This documentary follows three brothers, all native to the Himalayas but living completely different lives.

I'm a native of Kathmandu,Nepal and I am really surprised at the accuracy of this documentary---It contains things that even I didn't know about the Sherpa community.This documentary truely is an underrated work of art but it would help alot if you'd include the year this documentary was filmed.Some tiny details have changed over the years due to the 2015 Earthquake and i'd help the viewer have a more clear understanding.

[@leelen2907]

judging the camera quality and sound i'd say late 80s to early 2010?

[@SaunterVaguelyDown]

@@leelen2907 Early 2010??? Are you 10? It was filmed in 1977. Nice try though.

[@leelen2907]

@@SaunterVaguelyDown Haha! if i only used a 40 year span instead of 30 to guess, i'd hit jackpot XD

@Janitor Queen It's funny you consider being a child an insult. I meant it literally. Clearly this person has to be very young to have such a skewed view of dating video quality. I mean they could only pin it down THIRTY YEARS and STILL got it wrong. Video quality in the 70s was nothing like the 2000s, let alone the 2010s (which ended just 3 years ago!). The late 70s thru the early 90s was similar enough I could understand someone being 16+ & guessing within that range. Though someone 40+ should be able to tell the diff. Without looking I would've prob guessed early-mid 70s myself cause it has that washed out yellowish quality you don't see in 60s & most 80s films. It's cause video quality was actually better in a lot of ways in the 60s cause there was no such thing as consumer video equipment. Once you had affordable commercial cameras smaller studios started producing lower quality films left & right. Which is why films from 60s look better than a lot of 70s & 80s stuff. 70s stuff was especially grainy & washed out. But to confuse 1977 with 2010s, which had commercial 4k tvs & blu Ray & affordable 4k cameras & 1080p - 4k KZbin videos? Even the 2000s is a big stretch. 720p (still MUCH better than the 70s 480p) was standard at start but 1080p was standard by 2007ish. Not to mention the 4:3 ASPECT RATIO. That's a dead give away that it can't be any older than 2002 at very latest. By late 90s most movies had switched to 16:9 & TV gradually followed, with the last shows (like Buffy) switching in 2002. Nowadays tv is still 16:9 but most movies are 21:9. So YES you'd have to be a kid to think a very poor quality 3:4 aspect ratio 70s film could be from 2019. Or even 2000. If you guessed anything past 1994 (and even that's a stretch), you've got to be so young that anything more than 10 yrs old seems ancient to you.

@@leelen2907the date is 1977

[@tweezerjam]

I almost didn’t add this to my queue because I thought- I’ve seen many Everest documentaries, so I know all about the sherpas. The thumbnail should have the production date- 1977. Because this comes before anything else I’ve seen about this region and these people. I’m sure there are other folks who have skipped on by. 👍🏼

[@dawasherpa4400]

The toughest people on earth are The Sherpas.. Hope the culture remains unmoved forever...

[@yoliswambebe619]

Really?

[@Lurker1979]

It would be intresting to go back and see what has changed in the past 43 years.

[@ScarlettKitsune]

Especially with Tibet now annexed by China and the aftermath of the 2015 earthquakes.

[@jsherpa25]

I just went to Solu back in December 2019 with my fam (first time going to Nepal) and I guess a lot has seemed to change from what I gather.

This documentary is so interesting, thank you for upload here to KZbin.

Excellent documentary. It had me the whole time.

[@suebrook3672]

Great programme, they should do a follow up with the 3 brothers and families

[@newttella1043]

It would be nice to indicate the year this documentary was made in the description. This would give the viewer better context should one visit Nepal and see some things are very different than in this documentary.

[@coryinthehouse5250]

Lukla airport was first built in 1971, in the documentary, they say it was built 8 years ago so the documentary itself is probably from 1979. I agree with you tho, a date for when these documentaries are from would be nice

[@mukkaar]

Yep, quite annoying as it's very important for understanding information in the documentary.

[@gyadre]

Here they follow Tibetan calendar so January will fall some where in mostly February or occasionally in March.

[@sushanttmg2442]

Great documentary about Sherpa's 👏 And ty for the translate

I named my Jeep Wrangler after the worlds best mountaineers-Sherpa. In no way am I being disrespectful, I truly am in awe of them.

[@katipohl2431]

This makes me remember my first visit to Nepal in 1977. Meanwhile I visited 10 alltogether.

I don’t remember, but my grandparents tell stories of me hiding in the potato fields.

[@sancortexstk5252]

Everything seems accurate but people not cooperating in such communities is not true! I mean, I haven't been to the high mountains but in hills of Nepal community cooperation is the vital part of life. For every occasion big or small, people come together and help one another.

[@jsherpa25]

Man someone has got to make an update on the state or Sherpa culture in 2020. In Nepal and abroad in other countries.

[@gragebarns1938]

Good to know im a sherpa

[@StitchFunkoPop]

Damn, this is really interesting!

[@user-uo8yo9pp8l]

I have been watchimg a lot of Everest videos lately. I was not very happy when I discovered how little the brave sherpas are paid to take very wealthy people to the summit.

[@adonthephoenician3644]

Love this channel; from a new history channel.

[@gourabthapa7581]

Nepal is beautiful country specially in Mountain areas in Sherpa Communities.
