My name is Oswald Rodrigo Pereira. The search for most interesting human stories and inspiring achievements had led me to places I never thought I would land – to the highest mountains on Earth.
I have been climbing and filming in them since 2018. It was in February 2018 that I worked as a reporter from the Polish national K2 winter expedition. Later, I participated in three expeditions as part of the Artur Hajzer Polish Winter Himalaism program: Nanda Devi East, Lhotse and Batura Sar. In Winter 2020/21 I witnessed the triumph and tragedy on K2. In the summer of 2021, I returned with my camera to work on the second-highest mountain in the world. I also summited Broad Peak without supplementary oxygen.
In 2023–24, as part of the MAD Ski Project, I climbed four eight-thousanders with Bartek Ziemski: Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Makalu, and Kangchenjunga. Our collaboration resulted in the film The Silent Escape, which was screened in dozens of countries and received numerous awards at festivals in Poland and abroad.
When I’m not in the high mountains, I run ultramarathons, climb, read or … take care of dogs in a shelter in Warsaw.
