The Last First: Winter K2

Name: The Last First: Winter K2
Director: Amir Bar-Lev
Genre: Sport
Released: 2026

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.
