Mountain Queen: The Summits of Lhakpa Sherpa

Tuesday, July 2, 2024

NYC PREMIERE

Lhakpa Sherpa is the first Nepali woman to summit and descend Mount Everest — but how she navigated her life as a single mother and immigrant is an even more heroic tale. Oscar-nominated filmmaker Lucy Walker illuminates the inspiring world of a remarkable woman who continues to venture forth from her new life in Connecticut (where she works as a dishwasher at Whole Foods) to actively scale the Earth’s greatest peaks.

The screening will be followed by an on-stage conversation with Lhakpa Sherpa andfilmmaker Lucy Walker.
