Ater a short run in select U.S. theaters, Lucy Walker's inspiring movie "Mountain Queen: The Summits of Lhakpa Sherpa" has landed on Netflix after being acquired by one of the best streaming services following its debut at the Toronto Internal Film Festival 2023. The Oscar-nominated filmmaker's latest project landed on Wednesday, July 31, and it turns the spotlight on an incredible figure: Lhakpa Sherpa
Lhakpa is a Nepali mountain climber who became the first woman ever to summit Mount Everest. Incredibly, she has summited the world's tallest mountain no less than 10 times in total (so far), more than any other woman on the planet. Walker's feature-length doc follows Lhakpa Sherpa back to Nepal as she prepares for that 10th climb in May 2022.
