Apple TV’s Tenzing: An Epic Homage to a Dreamer
When I started watching Apple TV’s latest original film, Tenzing, I was expecting something fairly straightforward. Following the life of famed Sherpa guide Tenzing Norgay, one half of the first pair of people ever to summit Mt. Everest, I expected Jennifer Peedom’s film to be a basic biopic rooted in action scenes focused on the physical challenges and risks of climbing the world’s tallest mountain. Instead, I had the pleasure of watching a delicate, sweeping tale of the memories that make up a man, following Norgay as he navigates childhood loss, finding true love, and following his dream to touch “his mountain.”
