National Geographic’s “Everest: The Other Side” Trailer Released
Disney has announced details on the new documentary film from National Geographic called “Everest: The Other Side”, which shares an intimate portrait of two elite ski mountaineers bound by love and the pursuit of the impossible.
This new film follows elite ski mountaineers Jim Morrison and Hilaree Nelson fell deeply in love while reaching the pinnacle of their sport. Their drive sharpened into a shared dream: to climb and ski the direct North Face of Everest – the most difficult and dangerous climb on the mountain and the most coveted ski line on earth. Thousands have summited the mountain via Nepal’s southeast ridge, but only a handful have ever reached the top by this route — and no one has successfully skied down. Already known for their extraordinary feats in the mountains and no strangers to loss, Morrison and Nelson stake everything on this daunting challenge.

The world premiere of “Everest: The Other Side” took place earlier today at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival. The film is directed by Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin, the Oscar-winning filmmakers behind “Free Solo” and “Meru”.
The film will also be shown at the 53rd Telluride Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival, Camden International Film Festival, and BFI London Film Festival, before opening exclusively in theatres and IMAX worldwide on October 30th 2026. I’d also expect to see the film released on Disney+ at a later date following it theatrical release.
