Apple Original Films has released the trailer for The Last First: Winter K2, a documentary directed by Amir Bar-Lev.
Per the official description, “In ‘The Last First: Winter K2,’ Amir Bar-Lev tells a complex, harrowing, and moving story that takes an unflinching look at the industry of extreme mountain climbing and its changing culture. Focusing on a 2021 expedition, this documentary follows Icelander John Snorri Sigurjónsson and the Pakistani father-son team of Ali and Sajid Sadpara, a party of mountaineers who set out to be the first to summit K2 in the winter, when the mountain’s conditions are the cruelest. The men soon find themselves sharing the treacherous ascent with influencer climbers and their film crews, commercial expedition clients, and a Nepalese team no longer content to help Westerners achieve mountaineering glory. ‘The Last First: Winter K2’ takes us to the icy heights and unpredictable weather of K2 and reveals a surprising and layered story—one of strategy and determination, class and caste, money and power—all under life-and-death circumstances.”
Bar-Lev directs. Sean Richard produces for Object Studios, alongside Sarah Tomson and John Battsek for Ventureland and Howard T. Owens and Ben Silverman for Propagate Content. James Packer, Will Kane, Drew Buckley, Taylor Levin, Isabel San Vargas, Bar-Lev, Kerstin Emhoff and Ali Brown executive produce.
The Last First: Winter K2 premieres globally on Apple TV on Oct. 2.
