In September a documentary directed by Mortenson's friend Jennifer Jordan and her husband, videographer Jeff
Rhoads, was released. Titled Cups of Tea, the documentary directly refuted all of the allegations made by both
Minutes and Krakauer, claiming that the attacks on Mortenson were unprovoked and unwarranted. Any inaccuracies and misrepresentations that Mortenson himself had already acknowledged were dismissed as being "insignificant" and
as having done no real harm."
The Central Asia Institute continues to operate, although with reported contributions of only $ million in fiscal year
ending September according to reports filed with Charity Navigator but the heady days of Mortenson's fame seem far behind them.
