Amazing, fascinating, terrifying. You may think you know alot about the Nepal event, but this showed so much more that happened from a human level.
Like most people, I remember the footage of the earthquake from Nepal in 2015. I remember seeing buildings collapse, fall apart and one or two avalanche videos. It was horrible. When I see this series was released on Netflix I figure I would watch it. Turns out its more then just some normal documentary where a narrator talks and they show you various things you have already seen before.
Instead it's a multi-episode series in which survivors share their stories, along with new footage from what it was like at ground level. Especially up on the various bases of Everest. At times you see footage and your heart races. In other cases you just see a person talking about something and you can see yourself in that situation and afraid.
This is an excellent documentary. You will get viewpoints from tourists to guides to the average citizens. It puts everything into even more perspective about how tragic the event was. And the pace of each episode is very nice. There are no rushed stories, no loud music trying to drum up emotion, just raw footage of people talking about the events and of course raw recorded footage from that day. I will say, while I don't think I could ever afford to travel to another country, nor handle mountain climbing, this documentary made me have zero interest in ever doing it. Seeing how dangerous it is. What happened literally happened in an instant on the mountain itself. People had zero warning or time to do anything but think their lives were about to end.
The ONLY thing annoying was in the last episode when the Israelis guys made excuses that they felt attacked and they were actually "good people". After a place was wiped out, they broke open a locked box and took all the money out. Then when caught people of course got mad. Then later then found a GPS device and didn't tell anyone because they were afraid for their lives. Give me a break guys, you are terrible people.
