Review of Sherpa

Sherpa (2015)
9/10
Imperialist Narcissism
20 August 2021
If people ever needed a reason to hate western capitalist culture they need look no further than this docu. I was ashamed and felt disgraced. I'd be even more ashamed if i were an American though. 16 Sherpas died on that mountain and some American dude likens the villagers to terrorsists, just because they cancel the climbing season and he doesn't get to get 'chauffeur driven' to the top.

This wasn't the only shocker either. Comments ranging from "who owns these Sherpas" to "these boys" (referring to the sherpas) make you realise that the privileged entitlement behaviour displayed by the passenger climbers is abhorrent.

Shocking story but well documented. The whole thing is a shameful reflection of imperialist greed and narcissism.
