It&#8217;s an intense emotional documentary film that highlights the reality of mountain climbing. Most importantly, it showcases the ability that a human being has.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>This film follows the journey of Nimsdai Purja as he manages to climb the world&#8217;s 14 highest and most dangerous mountains in just a few months. He calls his mission \u201cProject Possible,\u201d and we see the reality of this challenge and how it affects his life. However, Nimsdai&#8217;s confidence, courage and hope inspire his team to help him break this record.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/14peaks.a.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1430\" width=\"225\" height=\"126\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Something I enjoy about this film is its structure. Throughout the movie there is footage of Nimsdai climbing the mountains, as well as background information. The director really makes sure that the audience has enough information about climbing to fully understand the film. They also interview some important people in Nimsdai\u2019s life, in order to help us understand him better. Another thing that really stands out is the quality of the movie. Even during the shots of the climbers high up in the mountains with snow blowing from every angle, you can still see what is going on. The entire film feels very ready for the big screen; even though most of the mountain shots aren&#8217;t filmed by professionals, they are definitely remarkable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The message of this documentary film is that you can achieve anything you put your\u00a0mind to, even if it seems impossible. This film does include some profanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I give <em>14 Peeks: Nothing is Impossible<\/em> 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 11 to 18, plus adults. You can watch <em>14 Peeks: Nothing is Impossible<\/em> on Netflix starting November 29, 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>14 Peaks: Nothing Is Impossible explores Nepal\u2019s deep connection to high-altitude mountaineering through the eyes of Nirmal \u201cNimsdai\u201d Purja, a fearless, fun-loving Nepali climber on a quest he dubs \u201cProject Possible\u201d\u2014to summit all 14 of the world\u2019s 8,000-meter mountains in just seven months, breaking the previous record of seven years.
