I Made A Documentary Of My Mother Climbing A 13k Feet Himalayan Mountain At An Age Of 58

“Don’t kill your mother. Return back,” said a stranger.

– What really happened in those 72 hours?

– Was she able to climb?

– How did it affect her physically?

– Were we too ambitious in our expectations?

It was in November 2017 last year that witnessed the much anticipated Himalayan climb of my 58-year old mother. Whatever happened, the climb changed my mother forever.

I bare it all in this short documentary that made me cry while I was making it. I hope it will inflict the same feelings in you.

    By the time we returned back, the relationship between my mother and me had elevated to a different spiritual level. The risk was well worth it. It made us feel alive. It made us appreciate our existence even more
