Released: 2026
Duration: 98 min

Synopsis

The race to grab the last great prize in mountaineering, K2 in winter, left five dead. It exposed deep fault lines in alpinism today: pressures from commercialisation, toxic effects of social media, and long-brewing tensions between those who’ve been marginalised and those who’ve always basked in the sport’s glory.
