BEHIND THE CURTAIN OF HIGH MOUNTAINS

OVERVIEW

Never give up – that is the motto of Dina Štěrbová, the first woman in the world to climb the 8,000-meter peak Cho Oyu in the Himalayas in 1984. The documentary captures not only her mountaineering achievements, but also her humanitarian work in Pakistan's Baltistan region, where she co-founded a small hospital. At the age of 81, we watch her say goodbye to the mountains and continue her mission to help people in remote villages.
