Breathtaking Look at the Man Who Climbed Everest 21 Times | Short Film Showcase

- Every spring, Mount Everest draws in people from around the world to conquer its peak. Despite the riches surrounding the highest point on Earth, the Sherpa people who live in its shadow remain poor with few educational opportunities. One man hoping to change this reality is Apa Sherpa, a child of the Khumbu and world-record holder for summiting Everest. Like many before him, Apa Sherpa was pulled from home at the age of 12 to work on the mountain as a high-altitude porter. Now, the Apa Sherpa Foundation is working to create a different future for the children of Nepal. As Apa says, "without education we have no choice."

This is great how can we help..this the greatest short film i have ever seen...respect for sherpas.thank you nat geo for bringing this to us.much ❤
Very inspiring.
How do i get there very amazing plaze i wana try to live with the khumbu
we need to support and promote education for these poor childrens.... your penny can change someone's life , plz help Apa sherpa foundation 😍👏🙏
@@aashishpakhrin2812 how can i help,do you have whatsapp contact?
Being a Nepali when he said"The true beauty of Nepal isn't the Mountains. But the people who live in their shadows."
I felt that.
I respect the Nepali, ever since I saw this video and many others like this, I had more respect for love for the Nepalese, and many other around different parts of the word
Well they misinterpreted it. He said " Nepal has many tall mountains which is beautiful".
@@itsyourboyn2311 That Make sense! ♥️
I was abt to mention this line... often , not often mostly all of us forget the life one endure in mountain region. But the pepole living under those harsh mountains are the sweetest.
yes its beautiful,
For the first time, someone is legit not exaggerating when they say that they had to walk 6 hours every day for school.
@@melo7572 every parent says that.
I was looking just for this comment
And when they say "up hill both ways" they are not lying either
Every Filipino parents says that. 🤣
My father told me he had to walk across 7 rivers to school. 😬😬😬
@@melo7572 the Asian and Africans oldies says this alot. Maybe west oldies lived different lifestyle.
I m from Nepal and was always proud to have Sherpas but the line imagine being able to chase your dream really got me because climbing everest is not their dream but someone else's and they do that for whole life
I wish for the day when government will finally address their problem
More power to Sherpas
Your right they do it only for the money not for the people
I teared up reading your comment. It's really not fair for sherpas. I wonder why do they receive little recognition like documentaries when they deserve it more than the people showing off that they climbed Mt. Everest.
Reading between the lines a little here:
"imagine being able to chase your dreams..." "and not the dreams of someone else...."
This is the message in the video which no one realised
@@shantanusriraj8849 Yeah, they don't even want to climb
Exactly!!!
With the context in mind, I think he meant it through education...
Ok
"The true beauty of Nepal isn't the Mountains. But the people who live in their shadows."
thats very true.....namaste bhaya
Thanks for ruining the ending.
🤗
GREATEST WORDS I HAVE EVER READ , HEARD , GOD BLESS YOU ALL , JAI HIND
Being Nepali, We people are humble to our guests!, You are always Welcome to NEPAL.
"Excuse me, do you have the time?"
"The time is now, child."
That got me good, unbelievably beautiful and noble people.
Was he asking about real time? I didn't get that part
@M.r. Moon Eckhart Tolle "The power of now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment" do yourself a favour
@M.r. Moon You have it all figured out... ok, then there´s no point in reading anything. Agree
Hmm
@Mr. Moon No, mr moon. It is the other way around.
Its not that "now" does not exist. Its that "now" is the only moment that does.
All else is either past, or yet to come.
And neither of these exist without "now" to reference from.
Without Sherpas, no one would make it up and back, they are absolute specimens of human beings, helping others just to have a proper living. RESPECT.
No, most would not. Some would. GLTA.
@@davidburkholder7360 edmund hillary wouldve never reached the top in 1953 for the first time if it wasnt for the sherpa he was with when he summited
@@RocksmithPdl Seems so but being that he used a Sherpa we will never know but only that he did.
In my opinion, the Cinematography of this short film deserves an Academy Award. To me, how one captures the Humility & Resilience of the People and the Joy & Beauty in both simple & difficult things against the backdrop of the Awe-inspiring Magnificence and almost Mythical spirit of the Imposing mountains is simply brilliant and profound. Thanks:)
agreed
True!
For real though. This was amazing.
i agree ,,its the most amazing video i ever seen in my life ...
totally agree
I can't believe I can watch this for free on UA-cam. This should be featured in every major documentary festival.
I agree.. we don't know what free content we have access to ..
This can literally change lifes
Still you can pay me for it if you want to, I'll spend them wisely, promise.
@@MyGodZach Nice effort
James Lucian I couldn’t agree more 💯 this is just incredible and true lives of people living there. Teaches you so much and more
The message this master piece holds wouldn't be reached by as many if it wasn't free and if it wasn't a master piece.
Amazing cinematography, pure art! Since my childhood I've been fascinated by the Himalaya and the epic stories of climbing. 2 years ago I finally went there and did the Everest trek, this year Annapurna trek. What can one say, you simply fall in love with Himalaya and it's people and have desire to return all the time, it's never enough. Watching these films now, that I've been there and seen it with my own eyes, has completely different meaning and feeling than before. Countless times, while hiking there, I thought how our kids are so spoiled, they have no idea what hard life is, they cry like crazy if you don't buy them some silly toy in the shopping mall, although they have house full of toys already. And these kids in Himalaya don't have nothing, many of them have to hike for hours every day just to get to school and back. I watched porters carry the loads of insane proportions, bent like trees in the wind, and yet they smile all the time.
Aleksandar Gospić Being happy or sad is choice,We choose to be happy.And keep coming Nepal and thanks for your words..
@@dolendrakhadka3907 yes, it's a state of mind! I will come back again, cheers!
@aleksandar wish you all the best for the upcoming treks. 👍🏽 My greetings to the mountains...
Strange comment.
Often it's the people who are most conceited/spoiled, that slander about all those 'spoiled children.'
@Patrik VV. true !
"Without education, we have no choice."
I had to hold back my tears because this doesn't just ring true for them, but for me and every children in the world as well. Without education, I would be married off and probably won't even be on UA-cam watching this video.
You do realize that the sherpa live off of the Mountain Climbing Industry right? There is no other opportunity in the area. Education has little value when the only job is to serve those who can pay you to carry their stuff. That's not to say these people don't have a choice...they can always leave and go somewhere else with lots of opportunity, then an education might be of some value.
But, life itself could be a teacher. If he went to school, nobody would have known about Appa Sherpa.
True
@@robanderson4137 That's the whole point. If nobody is educated and cares about learning they will end up working on the mountain and risking their lives. But if they have education they can move out of that place and bring back opportunities from the city, and help make others lives better.
I started watching this documentary with the expectation of getting to know the story of a Sherpa who climbed the Everest 21 times. What were his feelings, his state of mind, his motivation every time he stepped on the top of the world, but the documentary has nothing like that. Though, I appreciate the content covered here, but I would love to hear more about his experience on the Everest, that too, 21 times. *goosebumps*
Yeah me too
Watch the documentary called Sherpas! Awesome insight on the sherpas and the pain and hardwork they have to go through
I have a feeling you don’t really understand the film. What the film is trying to tell you is that the feeling, the state of mind, the motivation is that of someone who is forced to take a job he don’t really like for survival. To a foreigner, climbing Everest is like stepping on top of the world, to him, it’s just taking another risky job to make ends meets.
Appreciating the level of cinematography which is fantastic and breathe taking at the same moment. Efforts invested in the making of this short movie is examplary.
Tejas Shetty the soundtrack is exceptional too.
@@guitar91esp agreed. Perfect use of background score. Movies like these make me rethink my career choice
It's one of the best shorts i've ever seen in my life
True
Breathtakingly Awe-inspiring, high end, short documentary. " Stunning."
This had me captivated, from the first second, too the very last.
I wanted to be there, to see it for myself, and that's not me.
This wasn't a short film, it was an experience.
Seriously.
true
“Excuse me, do you have the time?”
“The time is now, child.”
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
Absolutely priceless.
@peterQuinlan Actually that is the philosophical translation of what she said. the literal one goes like this, "time is same as it was yesterday this time. " we people of Nepal use this sentence as a joke when we don't have a time keeping device around us.

So powerful !!!
Ok
Nepalis are blessed by god for their strength, hardworking, hospitality and patience.
Great people.
Give this Documentary an award.
And the video producers a raise 😜😂
The reactions to their creation is their reward
Will do!
cinematography n story 💪
@Christopher Kenedi also the goverment has to make these companies give better salaries to sherpas, but goverment and companies only care to make $$$
Was done with "heroic stories" of foreigners after watching this. Sherpas are the true heroes of Himalayas. They are significantly underpaid for what they do. Risking their lives to fulfill their clients Everest dream and also be their cook, porter and what not. Its devastating that they don't get enough respect for what they do. They are the real sportsman and they don't even do it for entertainment, they do it to fulfill their families needs. They are the true heroic stories of Everest and the mountains knows it well than any other.
Well said 👏
I don't see how those foreign tourists can enjoy themselves seeing the hot mess they've created on the mountainside and the suffering of the porters. Just stay away! Isn't there something else you could be doing?
While what you say is true and I do agree they should be paid more, let's also look at it the other way. The tourists/climbers give these people the chance to earn 5-6 k $ / season which is about 10 times MORE what the "regular" people make up there. These are figures from a well-known documentary.
What the best solution would be is if the sherpas themselves start asking for more...it's not like westerners have a choice...either they get help from the sherpas or 99% of them would not even make it to 7 thousand meters let alone climb to the top !
P.s. even with the relative "low" pay they give the sherpas the actual cost / person to climb the Everest is anywhere between 40k $ to 100 k $ (depends on how big the group is and ao on).
Only the Government permit / climber is 11k $ if I remember correctly 😳
Sherpas are the only real badasses! They know and respect their mountains, transport materials, prepare routes year after year, clean up the rubbish left by the so-called mountaineers, save lives. Without them, the summit of Everest would be impossible.
11:02 Imagine going to school everyday with that view 😍
I am sure it's just the usual for them but wow
Wow! This is one of the most beautiful videos I've ever seen!!
Indeed. Nepal and Nepalese are truly an amazing inspiration. Had tears on my eyes watching.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Gddchaiij
thank u so much and your video is not less badhai chha .
love you shrinkhala khatiwada
if it wasnt for the Sherpa, none of us westerners would have ever reached the top of Everest
That is untrue. It would only be the elite tho.
@@perdidolightskin9070 well the first person sir edumnd hillary also had a sherpa named tenzing norgay so presumably climbing the everest without a sherpa ia next to impossible
someone would do that. humans are crazy + with technology in our time.
@@ravimishra4677 And yet it's been done quite a few times by actual pro mountaineers, who've gone up and down the mountain with only a partner or even solo, carrying their own gear, no oxygen, and not on the usual route. With tourists it's a completely different story.
April, what about Ueli Steck ?
He was able to climb without any help.
The Sherpas are genuinely the most beautiful people, the line my guide said to me when i was suffering from altitude sickness and struggling to move to get to EBC, he had tears and said he wants my dream to come true. These guys are so selfless, my heart goes out to them.
"selfless" is a nice way to say "does a dangerous job for tourists' sake so their family can have money"
"The true beauty of Nepal is not the mountain but the people who live in their shadows " well said👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks NAT GEO for portraying the beauty of my country with such a great effort in cinematography . This is the best short movie in my life 😍😍😍
National geographic did not shoot this short film. They just featured it. It is made by Sherpas Cinemas! (Evident in the video)
Nepal is a beautiful country with amazing people. Love from Pakistan.
Waqas Aziz Mir love you brother
I’m on UA-cam since the first years of its existence , and this is the first time I’ve felt the need and desire to comment.
This hardworking and kind people, emotions they share, sceneries, this magnetic mountain and cinematography is just breathtaking.
Thank you for showing us a little piece of this beautiful world.

I think these people are very underrated. Their courage and loyalty are SPOT on.
"I climbed Mount Everest twenty-one times. But I wouldn't wish this for anybody" 1:13
The most realistic line in the video (including the comments).
yet senseless people with money go there to die
Bro it doesnt mean not go there but the 21 times he climed was as a potter risking live to survive
@@Bayo106 and that's how he made the money.
Yes
जननी जन्मभूमिश्च स्वर्गादपि गरीयसी. Respect you sherpas.
For most of us who boast on reaching the top , we knew, it's actually the sherpa who reached before and lifted us up there....
The power & destruction that ignorance carries is in the hands of those who know and choose to not speak. -Every single person who summited and returned to tell about it, had they dispelled the myth and the construct of the “dream”, we wouldn’t have so few that understand to whom actually power these endeavors. It wouldn’t be, for example, “luck of UA-cam draw”, that anyone finds out. And this can be said of innumerable, critical, life altering truths. Don’t hold back if you hold the truth on anything.
I still remember the first time I saw Sherpa kids in their uniforms at a school in the middle of nowhere. Perfectly clean, smiling. playing and having the time of their lives. These people don't have much as far as money or possessions and their lives are light years from easy. But I knew right there that these people could teach us a lot about living life.
The fact that this doesnt even have a million views tells a lot about our current generation.
THIS IS THE FINEST PIECE OF ART.
Now it has 1,4 milion views
The fact that you cant put together a simple sentence also worries me a bit... 'this is THE finest piece of art.

Azliana Lyana actually, the film made by unprofessional.
What do you mean with unprofessional? i wouldn't believe this was made by amateurs
Right on well said
This is literally one of the best directions and cinematography I have seen in a while. Great Job.
As opposed to figuratively?
I went to Tibet 2 years ago and was able to see Mount Everest from afar, it was an incredible experience although feeling extremely cold and also having a bit of sickness yet I wasn’t even on the mountain.
Apa is a legend
people who made this amazing footages really deserve an OSCAR
god bless you all
Hahaha
Nepal colonized by china.
Nobel prize
314 Everest climbing tourists disliked this because it reveals who the heros of everest really are...
Well said
Or maybe they have actually been to Nepal.
@@janiverster6162 In that case, for sure it would have been a thumbs up...
This film got me so deep!
Being in the mountains of Nepal now it gives me incredible feelings. Yesterday, I met Apa Sherpa in Thame. It was an honor for me! Support education in Nepal!
If I was able to cry I would be right now... This really makes me reconsider my goal of summiting this mountain and all the others I wish to conquer.
Thank gawd. 🙌🏽 Maybe you could take that energy and find a way to uplift people in these or similarly struggling situations. You very well may find a far more exalted high than what one would expect from being spoon fed a high climb. 💁🏽♀️🙏🏽♥️
“Growing up in Nepal shouldn’t be hard”❤️🙏🏻
Nepal is a beautiful country. I've been there twice. People are very warm and welcoming.
Also, the cinematography of this video is amazing.
Goosebumps at every moment I watched it. Sound, emotions, success will drive to keep us going.
reminds me of quote "what I am or may be is because of my mother" ... love you mom
Respect SHERPAS 🙏🙏
Worship them !
Once all sherpas have access to education, the ones climbing will do it for passion . And the mountain "tourist " will disappear, leaving only the real alpinist behind. Wouldn't that be better ?
Absolutely. There are cases where rich Westerners try to learn basics of climbing enroute to Everest peak!!
X Marks: The trouble is, that too much tourist money is taken by the greedy and corrupt Nepal government and only a little portion of it reaches the poor Sherpas.... This has to be fixed first. And after that, tourism will be a real and much more valuable contribution for the Sherpas.
@X Marks you're right. The Sherpa community and Nepal government are so dependant on Everest expedition incomes. The foreigners should definitely think because they are going to risk their lives as well as Sherpas.
There is no other jobs there. Do you understand it? NO JOBS? NOT AT ALL?!?! It is not about education, there is no f**** jobs there!... When you finally understand it, second thing is that this job is still quite well paid there. WELL PAID THERE!!! Do you get this one as well? Maybe you sit too much in front of TV, watching YT, etc.. and you just turned your thinking off?...
Pee eeP you’re quite ignorant to say that this is a good source of income. If it was, wouldn’t their quality of life change for the better? They still have to climb every year.
Really heart touching story behind the scene.. Without sherpas no one could ever climb the mount everest...They are the real heroes who risk their life for the hundreds of time and help other people to climb the Everest..Hats off to these hard working people..😍😍 Goverment should provide a free education and health facilites in that part of the country.. We can imagine how hard would be the life over there..
It brings tears to my eyes when he said," the real beauty isn't the mountains but the people who live in their shadow".
I felt it.♥️🥺
I have watched so many Everest and Sherpa documentaries and this is the first one to explain what their first names mean, so thank you for that!
Elizabeth Culver Edwards right , you can convert you name according to our Sherpa culture . hve a grt day.
As some one said, this is not just a great documentary it is a live experience.......
What time is it?........asked the boy, the old woman answered: ....the time is now........this is the true meaning of live. We all must support APA foundation for the people in the shadows......THANK YOU!.
It looks like a blessing to born in there. May they get more support from all around the world. Being a Sharpa shall be out of passion not out of compulsion. May the souls lost in Everst and Himalaya rest in peace.
What a masterpiece. Brilliant storytelling.
"Imagine being able to chase your dream."
"Excuse me, do you have time?"
"The time is now, child."
Simply beautiful~
That touched my heart.💗💗💗
This is pure gold. The cinematography, the storytelling and the background music is amazingly coordinated. Gave me chills throughout the video. 14 minutes of next level experience.
Stunningly beautiful filming. Got a lump in my throat when Apa mentioned the friends he had lost. All the best to the people of Nepal who live in the shadow of the Mountain Goddess ❤️
I come back and watch this every few months, it still hits me the same every time! such an amazing film!
The cinematography, the music, the story, the people! The combination of all of them made my heart sink. This is truly the masterpiece!! This short film is better than most mainstream movies out there(in my opinion).
He had to walk six hours to attend school.
So this is the school my parents always talked about.
you may be kidding but that's real truth
Sulav Thapa there is no denying that the school must be that far. The statement above is a patent dialogue all of our parents used while us growing up highlighting the difficulties they had to face to gain education. Needless to say I have nothing but respect for these people who faces such hardships and show the true meaning of warrior spirit.
@@Darknight_Syd84 i got you . I just presented my idea.
And it was uphill, both ways.
Joe Pasco lol you bet it was.
Definitely you will cry when something touches your heart. To all porters including Apa Sherpa A BIG SALUTE. You are the real HEROES OF HEARTS not MOUNTAINS.
I've immense respect for the Sherpas 🙏
They go through so many hardships but their survival instinct is just unmatchable!
I literally am out of words to explain what I felt after watching such a extremely beautifully made video. I dont know what it took to make such a masterpiece but huge huge respect for the team who worked to make this video and the background music score. The way the beauty of people living there was portrayed, those drone shots, those words, everything. Thank you for making such a masterpiece short film!
Bless him for creating easier access to education for his people.. made me cry.. beautiful thank you

Gotta admit...one of the finest videos on UA-cam right now....
May God blessed them. Proud of these lovely ppl...love from 🇮🇳
The cinematography in this film blew me away!! Very reminiscent of Koyaanisqatsi.
Apa Sherpa's story is a remarkable testimony to the will of the human spirit.
A true hero in my book!
I was very moved by this film and wish there were many more like it!!
“The true beauty of Nepal isn’t the mountains. But the people who live in their shadow”
Got me good.
the photography is genius, it prepares you for that moment by spanning the beautiful mountains, then turning down and focusing on the individual instead. Simply genius!
Only a very few would have been able to climb any 8000m peak without Sherpas.
Sherpas are the best.
Who can't do it without Sherpas have to go max to the basecamp. Who has the right to risk other lifes for the own comfort??? I read, some comments above, all Sherpas LIKE IT very much, to go to Mount Everest (and the death zone too?) and every child in Nepal easy come to school and education. What a comment, how stupid people can be? So I think that is such an "climbing tourist" too, that needs and like to use Sherpas for the own comfort. It's tragic that the Sherpas need the money of the climbers whithout expertise for the own life and have to risk theyr life for these climbing tourists. (Please excuse my English, it's not my language.)
Wow, an absolutely epic piece of film. Truly moving. Sherpa's and the Nepalese people have nothing but my upmost respect.
7:26 the standard of the cinematography rose to impossible height.
Yes bro
What an absolutely amazing human being! What an absolutely unique people. Yes, they are the true beauty of Nepal!
Beautiful and yet devastating.. Also, the buildup and the timelapse shots from 7:25 - 8:50 blew me away!
Beautifully done NG. Totally admire the Sherpa and the people of Nepal. I truly hope Apa's foundation makes a difference for the people and brings education and choices to them.
This is absolutely breathtaking, congrats to the whole team. Beautiful.
I would love to visit Nepal to meet those beutiful people stronger than the mountain itself, harder than rock and ice🙏🔝❤️
You will fall in love with the country 🙏🏻
Dipti Bangdel I’m sure🙏tnx for your comment dear🙏🌈
They are just normal people. They bleed, get hungry and die. If they were rock or ice, they would have been in a Marvel movie, not hauling beers up the mountain at minimum wage.
@@janiverster6162
well they are stronger than an obese kid growing up in a polluted city spending the day infront of a bloody screen
This is incredible. Perfect stuff to make you think, dream and wonder.
This is what the internet was made for.
This is exactly what I want in my UA-cam recommendations. Way to go Sherpa APA🙏🏼 truly loved by all❤️
Just beautiful and heart warming and wrenching at the same time. Lots of love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩 for the people of Nepal in harsh areas of the mountains. I hope to visit in 2022 and experience it all!
A beautiful yet sad story of the life of a Sherpa and the high cost it can have on families
Hopefully the male children who live in its shadow find a more enriching and fruitful path through education and not be trapped in the cycle of a Sherpa's lot
And the cinematography was just stunning
tarkineWild I'd love to be born in Nepal and be Sherpa not everybody gets to walk outside and have that million dollers view..
It's a knife edge proffesion
What an amazing video without the Sherpas there would be no Everest expeditions. These people have some of the toughest lives they should be looked after and respected 😀
Gavin, it was such a good solid comment, take care
6:37 - 9:00 has to be some of the best cinematography I’ve ever seen. I’m at a loss for words.
That is a pro shot in 4k video
so true !!
Far and away, one of the most beautiful films I have seen. Gorgeous cinematography, breathtaking scenery, great music. What is this magnetism that so fascinates me with Everest and keeps me coming back...
One of the most beautiful countries in the world:-)
I agree
Thankyou!

My new fave line. Lol’d
Mountaineer: Did you get the oxygen cylinder, tent, medicine, food, ladder and all supplies?
Sherpa: Yes i did
Mountaineer: Did you tie the ropes to the route?
Sherpa: Yes all done
Mountaineer: Ok i'll climb this mountain
cake walk
Mountaineer: Don't drop my camera, I need the photo.
I've never seen anything more beautifully captured on video. This is amazing
whatever i might try to say would be an understatement of the beauty of this film and the people it is about ..
amazing
Late to the vid but happy more and more is coming out about the strength and heroism of the Sherpas. They're somewhat of a recent discovery to me and I'm glad the world is being told the truth about what those people do to help wealthy adventurers cross an item off of their bucket list. The risks they take and the sacrifices they make are truly extraordinary. They should be paid far more than they are and they should be recognized as the sole reason 99.9% of those who aren't Sherpas are able to summit Mt. Everest. The real heroes.
Beautiful and breathtaking. Could not agree more that the beauty of a nation is not in its resources, geography, or monuments, but its people.
Proud to be a Nepalese and to have a chance to be born and raised in Nepal. Jai Nepal!
great video, sound mixing, storytelling, message, cinematography
This is a masterpiece. Respect for National Geographic.
If Mr. Apa Sherpa had a business manager, I would think crowds would come to meeting halls around the world to hear him speak (via a translator) of his adventures on Everest. He and his family should benefit from his achievements.
THANKU BBC and Sherpa Cinema for this breathtaking short film .
This is one of my favourite Videos on YT. Amazing cinematography , exceptional Score and a stunning Story.
All the best for Apa and his people ❤
Beautiful and inspirational short-film. SHERPAS ARE THE SOUL OF THE HIMALAYAS...The only real heroes. They deserve a better life.
Never had I been so proud to be called a Nepali than after watching this documentary,a true hero,a true Nepali,a true mountain blood,I salute you Apa!
Jai Nepal!!
This is literally one of the best if not the best video I’ve ever seen editing was spectacular every detail that went into this project this goes to show how only hard working people live in Nepal and to what extent they will get to to feed and send their kids to school when I was 10 I developed a passion for high mountains and climbing and I always had the biggest respect for Sherpa and Nepalese people 🇳🇵💪🏻❤️
Apa Sherpa is a true legend. I must say that I feel extremely lucky to have gotten the opportunity to stay at his house and meet him in person. God bless 🙏
This video is truly marvellous, what a cinematography and prefect mix of emotion and soothing background music. Loved it and learned a lot.
