As mountaineer Bernardo Fonseca sets out to climb Mount Everest, his expedition becomes more than a personal challenge, it transforms into a mission to inspire a more sustainable future for the world's highest peak. From the villages of Nepal's Khumbu Valley to Everest Base Camp and the upper slopes of the mountain, he encounters local communities, climbers, and environmental initiatives working to reduce waste and protect one of the planet's most fragile ecosystems. Combining breathtaking Himalayan landscapes with a powerful environmental message, The Extra Mile explores the impact of mountaineering on the natural world while celebrating the individuals taking meaningful action to preserve it. Through one climber's journey, the film reminds us that every responsible choice, every extra mile, can help safeguard the mountains for future generations. Official Selection 2026: VIMFF.
