About this work

Built from expedition footage and later interviews, the documentary follows Project Possible through extreme weather, rescue decisions, team dynamics, and Purja's effort to compress a record measured in years into seven months.

Why explore it

Best if you want David’s use of a refusal-to-give-up outlook, Nims’s self-belief and refusal to accept other people’s limits, and a recommendation he rewatched and took notes on.

Key themes

  • Refusing defeat
  • Extreme self-belief
  • Energy that bears revisiting
