Bringing darker records to light
Is Everest still the tallest rubbish container in the world?
It's in 2000 that Everest winner, Sir Edmund Hillary, talks about the highest landfill in the world. Along with Messner, famous for completing the first solo ascent of Mount Everest, Hillary meets with the King of Nepal to carry out the need for change, but without substantial result.
In the following years, many cleaning initiatives have taken place on the Mount Everest to reduce the waste left by tourists on the climbing routes. However, pollution has now been flooding the valleys and villages below.
In the documentary EVEREST GREEN, Jean-Michel Jorda raised awareness of the waste issue at the top of Everest. Now, one question remains: what should we do with all the garbage once collected from the mountain?
The upcoming documentary film, Everest Recycling, will tackle the waste management concerns on the famous mountain and its valleys, following the installation of an incinerator.
Release in December, 2022.
