Filmmaker and climber Eliza Kubarska retraces the extraordinary life and mysterious disappearance of legendary mountaineer Wanda Rutkiewicz in this breathtaking documentary. The first Polish person to summit Everest and the first woman to conquer K2, Wanda defied the male-dominated world of mountain climbing with unwavering ambition. Here, via haunting audio diaries recorded just months before she vanished, Rutkiewicz reflects on love, motherhood, and the meaning of the climb. Featuring voices from the global mountaineering community, this stunning documentary looks for answers in the jagged peaks of the Himalayas—the last place Wanda Rutkiewicz was seen.
