Nine Ways To Plead With a God (2022) is about six tourists and a local climbing guide who set out to summit a historically unsurmountable Himalayan mountain believed to be the abode of several Godly presences. As their physical limits, relationships to one another, and perceptions of reality are tested with each meter they climb, they must find a way to achieve their new collective goal: survival.
