Within the framework of the 'Year of the Constitution and Sovereignty,' and on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the Azerbaijani National Press, the State Committee for Family, Women and Children Affairs has awarded the winners of its journalists’ competition.
Among them, AnewZ TV’s special feature 'From Azerbaijan to the Top of the World: Vafa Gahraman Conquers Everest and Lhotse.'
The film’s author, Zeynab Farajzade, brought to the screen a story that reflects the strength, devotion, and boundless determination of Azerbaijani women.
Through the lens of this documentary, viewers witness alpinist Vafa Gahraman’s physical and emotional journey across the world’s highest altitudes.
As the first Azerbaijani woman to summit both Everest and Lhotse in a single climbing season, she not only conquered mountains but also transcended fear, limitation, and the boundaries of human endurance.
“This wasn’t just an ordinary film for me,” said alpinist Vafa Gahraman, who accepted the award on behalf of Zeynab Farajzade.
“We chose Mount Kepez for filming, and I witnessed the professionalism and dedication behind every part of the work. Watching it for the first time, I felt deeply moved and proud. Ms. Zeynab has truly shown the world the strong and powerful side of Azerbaijani women.”
