Lhakpa Sherpa is the first Nepali woman to summit and descend Mount Everest – but how she navigates her life as a single mother and immigrant is an even more heroic tale. Oscar-nominated filmmaker Lucy Walker illuminates the inspiring world of a remarkable woman who continues to venture forth from her new life in Connecticut (where she works as a dishwasher at Whole Foods) to scale the Earth’s greatest peaks.
The first screening will be followed by a Q&A with filmmakers and special guests.
