Description
What's it like to live in a country with terrain that is both breathtakingly beautiful and incredibly dangerous? Few places exemplify this better than Nepal, and few people know this contrast as deeply as its local mountain porters after last year’s twin earthquakes. We share interviews with four Nepalese porters who helped deliver food and supplies to communities in need after the country’s worst natural disasters in 80 years. We explore how the earthquakes changed their lives, what they carried up some of the tallest peaks in the world, and what’s at stake for Nepal’s ongoing recovery effort. Intro music by Nepalese guitarist Sandeep Tuladhar. Outro music, which was unaltered, by Wacky Southern Current under a Creative Commons License. (creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/)
