In 2019, Nepalese mountain climber Nirmal “Nims” Purja set out to do the unthinkable by climbing the world’s fourteen highest summits in less than seven months. (The previous record was eight years). He called the effort “Project Possible 14/7” and saw it as a way to inspire others to strive for greater heights in any pursuit. The film follows his team as they seek to defy naysayers and push the limits of human endurance.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Nims crowdfunded much of Project Possible after being rejected by mainstream sponsors who called it 'impossible.' He sold his house.
The film quietly confronts how Western climbers historically erased Sherpa contributions — Nims, a Nepali, reclaimed the narrative. Reinhold Messner, the previous 8-year record holder, appears in a fascinating tension of legacy.

The Nepalese finally getting the credit they deserve. Without them there would be no summiting Mount Everest

"If this was done by some western climbers then the news should have been 10 times bigger than this" This line touched my heart.

Hats off to Netflix. They are producing movies and series in places and countries, about different people around the world, that hollywood or big studios have never ever had interest. Thank you!
