Overview

The Promise is a Palestinian documentary that follows a young man who made a deathbed vow to his father: to climb the highest mountain in the world. What begins as an act of filial devotion evolves into an extraordinary and grueling personal journey — one filled with new friendships, breathtaking landscapes, and encounters with the limits of the human body and spirit. The film is both an adventure story and an intimate portrait of grief, love, and the weight of a promise made to someone no longer there to witness its fulfillment. Dramatic and deeply personal, The Promise explores how the bonds between fathers and sons can reach across death itself to shape the paths their children walk.
