ABOUT THE FILM: Elite ski mountaineers Jim Morrison and Hilaree Nelson fell deeply in love while reaching the pinnacle of their sport. Their drive sharpened into a shared dream: to climb and ski the direct North Face of Everest — the most difficult and dangerous climb on the mountain and the most coveted ski line on Earth. Thousands have summited the mountain via Nepal’s southeast ridge,
but only a handful have ever reached the top by this route, and no one has successfully skied down.
Already known for their extraordinary feats in the mountains and no strangers to loss, Morrison and Nelson stake everything on this daunting challenge. From National Geographic Documentary Films and Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin — the Oscar®-winning filmmakers behind Free Solo and Meru — Everest: The Other Side is an intimate portrait of two people bound by love, ambition and the pursuit of the impossible.
