A young privileged American attempts to make history at Everest by becoming a Himalaya Porter. But experiences a harrowing reality instead. This is an inside look at the darker side of Everest. At the strength, pride and pain of those whose support it. And at just how hard it is for a naïve foreigner to attempt the same. This is The Porter.
Before you go trekking to the Himalayas, we recommend to watch this movie to get an impression of how the porters work, get a glimpse of their way of thinking, the way they see the world and their work. What conditions, problems they face and still how they manage to balance their life, good mood, positive vision of things.
After this movie nothing will be the same, you will see quite differently the essential helpers of every trek, the silent and hard working porters.
