“Through intimate interactions and stunning cinematography, director Woods follows each step of the journey with compassion and care, reminding audiences that Everest doesn’t make exceptions…”
New Scientist
“A nuanced work that does not allow itself to settle for a binary position of the expedition having been either a folly or a triumph, it stands as an entertaining testament to a man that in trying to prove he would not let his condition define him”
Set The Tape
Max is a physically disabled man who attempts to trek to
Everest Base Camp - on horseback, to find social acceptance.
Yet when the mountain puts his life on the line, he’s forced to
re-evaluate his original motivations, and question how far anyone should go, just to fit in.
‘My Everest’ interrogates the forces of toxic masculinity and ableism, while celebrating a disabled man for who he is as a person, and not for his disability.
