14 Peaks: Nothing Is Impossible explores Nepal's deep connection to high-altitude mountaineering through the eyes of Nirmal "Nimsdai" Purja, a fearless, fun-loving Nepali climber on a quest he dubs "Project Possible"--to summit all 14 of the world's 8,000-meter mountains in just seven months, breaking the previous record of seven years. With a team of skilled Sherpas, he traverses Mount Everest, K2, and other iconic peaks through extreme weather, life-or-death decisions, and the emotional weight of his mother's illness back home. 14 Peaks is a thrilling, action-packed story about courage, perseverance, and pushing the limits of human endurance.

I will never forget how much my heart was racing watching this film. How it connected so deeply with me, and reminded me to be passionate and determined no matter what. I will always think of Nims from now on, and talk about him as a genuine hero.

Rated: 10/10

Sometimes, a blur is the best way to convey the mechanics of motion. Sometimes, physical momentum is the only way to express emotional stillness.

Got round to watching this film about a physiological freak and psychological nutter who climbed all 14 of the 8km peaks in six months. Was excellent. Watched on Netflix.

It had it moments. A little self indulgent.

In April of 2019, Nirmal Purja embarked on Project Possible, a seemingly impossible attempt to climb the world's fourteen highest peaks, all greater than 8,000 meters, over the span of several months. 14 Peaks: Nothing is Impossible is a story of the importance of family, of pride in your nation, of unflinching devotion to a dream, and the ability to overcome impossible odds. While there may be some faults with the documentary (the animated sequences feel unnecessary and some of the background details may be excessive), it is an inspirational film featuring absolutely stunning scenery and an immensely likeable protagonist who spreads positive vibes to all of those he comes into contact with, including the audience of the documentary.

71%. 12/15/23. Watched in two parts, pretty far apart. No insanely intense moments from what I remember but cool seeing him climb each of the mountains. Crazy to think the shape he must be in
