The new film “Tenzing” puts Sherpa mountaineer Tenzing Norgay at the center of the 1953 Everest climb, highlighting his expertise, life and equal partnership with Edmund Hillary after his contribution was often marginalized. Directed by Jennifer Peedom and made with input from Norgay’s family and Sherpa communities, the biopic aims to broaden how the historic ascent is remembered.
