The launch of the film "Guardians of The Peak," which took place at the end of last week in Dar es Salaam, has successfully motivated government institutions to climb the mountain in order to promote domestic tourism and environmental conservation.

Issuing this statement at the end of last week, the Acting Secretary-General of the Tanzania Film Board, Dr. Gervas Kasiga, said that the film has inspired the government institutions that participated in the launch to decide to climb the mountain.

The film, produced by Tanzanian Ram Ally, who is a Film Director in collaboration with a Chinese national of Tanzanian descent, Elizabeth Mrembo, following in the footsteps of the famous Tanzanian film "The Royal Tour," starring President Dr. Samia Suluhu Hassan, is intended to market Mount Kilimanjaro in the Chinese market.

Naming the institutions, Dr. Kasiga said they include the Copyright Society of Tanzania (COSOTA) under the Ministry of Culture, Arts and Sports, and the Tanzania Forest Services Agency (TFS).

Other institutions that will collaborate in climbing Mount Kilimanjaro after being inspired by the film are the Tanzania Culture and Arts Fund; the Tanzania National Parks Authority (TANAPA); and the National Arts Council (BASATA) in collaboration with ZARA Tours Company and Meticulous General Insurance Company.

Speaking after the launch, the film's producer, Ram Ally, who is currently popular with his film "NYARA: The Kidnapping" on the world-renowned platform Netflix, said that the film "Guardians of The Peak" will be distributed on television stations, the SGR train, and passenger buses.

He said that through the film, they will not only promote tourism but also attract the community and stakeholders to encourage the conservation of the mountain's environment in order to, among other things, prevent the reduction of its snow.

Speaking at the event, the co-producer Mrembo said that the film stems from a vision to protect the environment of Mount Kilimanjaro so that it becomes a global symbol of environmental conservation.

"We want to protect the environment while also safeguarding the long-standing friendship between Tanzania and China, which was established by the founders of our nations," said Elizabeth.

The film begins with a group of tourists in Moshi town, preparing to start their journey to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. Before the trip to the mountain, the tourists participated in a tree-planting event at Kaloleni Primary School together with students to promote environmental conservation, in order to preserve the snow of Mount Kilimanjaro, which has been proven to be decreasing over the past 110 years.

After planting trees, the tourists, some of whom speak Swahili, are seen at the Marangu Gate, ready to begin their ascent of the mountain. On their journey up the mountain to Mandara Hut, the tourists are shown to be fascinated by the beautiful scenery of the mountain's environment, with its natural vegetation and water sources, amidst rainfall.

After arriving at Mandara, the tourists rest and sleep until the next day to begin the six to eight-hour journey to Horombo Hut. From Mandara, the film shows the journey beginning towards Horombo Hut, where the tourists are shown experiencing changes in weather conditions and physical fatigue, but they encourage each other.

In encouraging each other, they reach Horombo Hut, and the journey to Kibo Hut begins, where they leave behind the natural vegetation and dense forests, passing through an open area of short grass up to Kibo Hut.

From Kibo Hut to Gilmans Point, the film shows the journey taking place at night through the mountain's snow. Some tourists are unable to continue, but many reach the summit and make their own history.
