The Everest business is booming and has changed rapidly in recent years - away from classic mountaineering and towards mountain tourism, which can earn a lot of money. It is now no longer the Western agencies, but the Nepalis who are the bosses on the highest mountain. _____________________________________________ ????

In 2008, in the film "Sherpas - The Real Heroes on Everest", Kari Kobler was the expedition leader in charge. At that time there were twelve mountaineers in his group. Today there are up to 100 people. The luxury version costs up to half a million dollars. And unlike before, the Nepalese have taken over the reins themselves. They are the new bosses on the mountain. The Everest aspirants are no longer just mountaineers, but above all people who want to fulfill their potential, with little prior mountaineering knowledge. Kari Kobler goes on a journey through time again and immerses himself in a new world characterized by fame, money and social media. He meets a generation of Nepalis and Sherpas who, full of self-confidence and a lot of knowledge, now dictate the business. _____________________________________________ ▪ A film by Matthias Lüscher ▪ Camera: Mathias Lüscher, Mario Hari ▪ Editing: Felix Hulliger, Hedi Bäbler ▪ Music: Martin Villiger ▪ Collaboration: Hari Thapa ▪ Production: Andrea Hinder ▪ Editor: Frank Senn ▪ Director: Nathalie Rufer _____________________________________________ This is «DOK»: Our in-depth documentaries on topics from society, nature, politics, sport and business.
