Filmmaker Jennifer Peedom’s new biographical drama *Tenzing* shifts the historical focus of the 1953 Everest expedition by highlighting the personal struggles and spiritual ambitions of Tenzing Norgay. By centering the narrative on the experiences of Norgay rather than just Edmund Hillary, the film offers a long-overdue acknowledgement of the Sherpa’s critical role and expertise in the historic climb.
