Tom did a good job sharing what happened on Everest 2015 and then showing the devastating affects for the country. The people lost loved ones and their homes. Yet they still shared their food and generosity with Tom and the camera crew when they lost almost everything. The Nepal people are amazing! Very heart touching documentary. Thank you for sharing this. 2014 and 2015 were hard years for Nepal.

Why? Sherpas make an average of $3,000-$6000 a season. The average Nepalese salary is $48 a month. No one is forcing them to do the job an the pay is fantastic. Try not to apply a western standard of living to them. They are not exploited.

Thank you so much for telling these stories. Stories of the families left in the aftermath of the devastating earthquake. I’m sorry to say I hadn’t realised the severity of the effect it had on the whole country during that time. So much attention was on the horror of the loss of Sherpas and climbers at that time. Your record of the reality of life immediately after the event, which lasted moments in time, will forever be a respectful and sympathetic homage to a beautiful hospitable people filled with courage and the will to work together and rebuild a life in their homeland, Nepal. What an example, so humbling and inspiring. Thank you so much……

And at 22:00 those guys are wasting time in the fact of pushing the dirt down and digging more out from the top prevents more landslides and makes the base wider. Easy fix.

It seems 360p is highest resolution on this video?

14:46 that poor woman. It was a very sad documentary and the population of the country were victims of a terrible natural disaster, but that was the worst bit.

It is pure pure pure pure chance , no godly interventions, no faith, no magic pixies , right place at the right time saves you,

At 20:53 thise guys got the right idea. Start rebuilding asap if you want to live. To make even a couple square feet or shelter could save more lives.
