THE WALL OF SHADOWS available online

Those interested in Nepal who missed the opportunity to watch Eliza Kubarska’s impressive documentary at the cinema can now catch up online.

“Eliza Kubarska’s film evokes the majesty of the alpine world in breathtaking images, but also draws attention to the problems of a globalised world in which tradition and spirituality are at risk of being lost.” Irene Genhart, Movie News (Translated by Usthi).

The documentary THE WALL OF SHADOWS shows a Sherpa family breaking a taboo and climbing one of the holiest mountains to earn the money for their son’s education. They accompany an expedition on the east face of Kumbhakarna, which has never been climbed before.

The movie will be available in Switzerland as video on demand on various streaming platforms from Friday, 18th December. Click here to stream on Vimeo. From 15th January, the film will also be available for purchase on DVD, for example on CEDE.ch.

The Usthi team can warmly recommend this powerful film to anyone interested in the daily life of Nepalese Sherpas and the breathtaking summits of the Himalayas.
