Nadir Dendoune is an independent journalist. In 2008, he posed as an experienced mountain climber and joined a group of professionals. On 25 May that same year, against all expectations, he reached the summit of Everest. In January 2017 the film L'Ascension (The Climb), co-written by Nadir and based on these events, was released. In his fourth book, Nos rêves de pauvres, he tells the story of his family. The following year Des figues en avril, a documentary about his mother, was a great success. Petits Pas, his fourth documentary, the story of the first experience in the mountains of some young men “in conflict with the law”, has just been released.
