SUPPORTING THE MOUNTAIN PEOPLE OF NEPAL Donate
Join us for a special screening of TENZING in the building where the 1953 expedition was planned and funded – and hear the half of the story the photograph never told.
Entry is FREE, but reservation is required
Doors open at 6.30 pm, event starts at 7.15 pm
Seats are limited, and we expect them to go quickly. Tickets are free, but reserving a seat means it’s no longer available to someone else, so please only book if you intend to come – and if your plans change, please release your reservation so that someone else has the opportunity to join us.
Based on true events and directed by Jennifer Peedom, TENZING chronicles the life of Tenzing Norgay. You will know about the expedition team led by Col John Hunt, the successful ascent alongside Edmund Hillary, and the photograph taken on the summit.
Far fewer people know what came before it – the years of carrying for other men’s ambitions, the attempts that failed, and what sustained a lifelong dream through all of them.
The film features an extraordinary cast, including Genden Phuntsok as Tenzing, Tom Hiddleston as Edmund Hillary, Willem Dafoe as Col John Hunt, Caitríona Balfe as Jill Henderson, and Thinley Lhamo as Dawa.
We will also show a short film about the Trust’s work in Nepal – the schools, teachers and health services that grew from that first ascent, and the part of the story you have helped to write. TENZING will be available to stream, but the guests, the setting and the room itself make this evening something else entirely.
