Winner of the Documentary Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival, this amazing movie follows three of the best professional climbers as they confront the Shark’s Fin on Mount Meru, the most technically complicated and dangerous peak in the Himalayas and one that no sherpas will sign on for. Conrad Anker, Jimmy Chin and Renan Ozturk tried and failed in 2008, but in 2011 they undertake it again under even more extraordinary circumstances. Filmed largely by the people who made this “impossible” climb, this is a thrilling and breathlessly absorbing true-life adventure. With Jenni Lowe-Anker, Jon Krakauer. Directors: Jimmy Chin, Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi. (US 2015) 89 min.
