Showtimes:
* Thursday, March 30, 6:30 pm

Back by popular demand, The Follow Your Dream Foundation and the Lark Theater invite you to a very special encore benefit screening (and Q&A with the filmmakers following) of the award-winning documentary film, PASANG: In the Shadow of Everest, the epic story of Pasang Lhamu Sherpa, Nepal’s first female Sherpa to summit Mt. Everest.

PASANG is director Nancy Svendsen‘s feature directorial debut and the fruition of a remarkable ten-year commitment to track down and bring Pasang’s inspiring story to audiences worldwide. A product of a decorated Marin and San Francisco-based filmmaking team, Pasang’s is a universally relevant story of one woman’s resilience and the importance of claiming one’s rightful place at the table. Pasang’s journey demonstrates the remarkable power within each of us to create change.

This critically acclaimed documentary is a film festival favorite, garnering wins for Best Mountain Film and Audience Awards at festivals both domestically and internationally.

Join film team members Nancy Svendsen (Director), Dorjee Sherpa (Executive Producer, Cast Member and Pasang’s eldest brother ) and Andrea Pierpont (Associate Producer) at what promises to be an unforgettable film event brought to life in the crown jewel of Larkspur, the beautifully renovated Lark Theater.
