Westbrook Studios and REI Co-op Studios have teamed up to produce a documentary about the first all-Black team, supported by Nepali Sherpas, to summit Mount Everest.

THE PEOPLE’S NETWORK
Feature documentary
Director of Photography
Since 1979, C-SPAN has been broadcasting Congress and all the conventions, conferences, campaign events, hearings, history, and books that can fit into 24 hours across three channels. Unedited and sacredly non-partisan, this nonprofit is the cleanest lens on our American experiment; its phone lines, the great public square. The best part? They recorded all of it. C-SPAN was born at the dawn of cable and built on bipartisan investment and an unyielding faith in the American people. Today, journalism is in crisis. How will America’s most trusted network adapt while staying true to its mission?
Director: Alyse Shorland
Production co: Gusto, independent
