Nawang Gombu - Heart of a Tiger is a documentary that dives deep into the life of a lesser-known hero of Everest. Nawang, nephew of Tenzing Norgay, had the kind of spirit that drew you in. It captures the grit and determination required to summit Everest, particularly through his early climbs. The pacing has an almost reflective quality, allowing you to absorb the weight of his achievements. It’s not just about summits; themes of family legacy and personal struggle resonate throughout. The film has a raw, almost homemade feel which adds to its charm, and the interviews provide a personal touch that feels intimate. There’s something grounding about his story, amidst the lofty peaks.
