KQED – Reimagined Green Festival Scales Mountains

KQED published an article about the 2022 Green Film Festival of San Francisco and describes the film for readers as the following:

“Marin filmmaker Nancy Svendsen’s Pasang: In the Shadow of Everest recounts a more straightforward kind of adventure story, albeit one with a political rather than environmental subtext. In the early 1990s, Nepali housewife Pasang Lhamu Sherpa took up climbing. Fearless, aggressive and ambitious, Pasang went toe-to-toe with star Western mountaineers, corporate sponsors and the prime minister. Ultimately she became the first Nepali woman to set foot on the summit of Mt. Everest, and paid a high price for it.

Svendsen had exceptional access to the family (one of Pasang’s brothers is her brother-in-law), yet the filmmaker goes above and beyond simple hagiography. Three decades after that fateful trip up the mountain, the immediate consequences of Pasang’s climb have been supplanted by her example and inspiration to generations of Nepali girls and women.”

Marin Independent Journal – Ross woman’s documentary focuses on first Nepali woman to summit Everest

The Marin Independent Journal interviewed Director, Nancy Svendsen about documentary, Pasang: In the Shadow of Everest prior to the October 2022 screening in San Francisco at the Roxie. The following excerpt is from the article:

“Although Pasang is celebrated in her own country, where there’s a life-size statue of her, a road named after her and a postage stamp issued in her name, among other honors, and many international climbers know her name, few outside of Nepal know her back story.”
