Sherpa: Trouble on Everest wins Perth’s International Arts Festival Film Audience Award

Jennifer Peedom‘s  documentary Sherpa: Trouble on Everest has won  an Audience Award at Perth’s International Arts Festival.

Jennifer Peedom said: “I’m thrilled that Sherpa has been so incredibly well received by audiences at the Perth International Arts Festival. It’s validating to know that the film is connecting with the Australian audience so well and this audience award is such a boost so early in our cinema release. A huge thanks to the audience for this prize.”
