What happens

Sherpa - Mennesker I Himalaya er en dokumentarfilm instrueret af Leif Skjoldbo efter manuskript af Leif Skjoldbo. I Nepal på grænsen til Tibet bor Sherpa-folket, på bjergsider nær Mount Everest i det barskeste klima. Den barske natur fjernt fra frodige dale, har ikke virket indbydende på Nepals herremænd, så befolkningen har undgået slaveri og livegenskab. De ekstremt hårde livsvilkår har et folkeslag tilpasset naturforholdene og Sherpaerne er blandt de stærkeste og mest udholdende i verden. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
