Eliza Kubarska (THE WALL OF SHADOWS) returns to the mountains for this award winning exploration of the life and disappearance of mountaineering icon Wanda Rutkiewicz. The first woman (and the first Pole) to climb Everest, Rutkiewicz’s independent spirit drew antagonism and dissent from the media and set her apart from the largely male climbing community. Using previously unseen extensive archives alongside interviews with family, climbers and monks this film explores the price she paid for success, and asks if she might in fact still be alive. Her body was never found after she vanished in the Himalayas in 1992.
Followed by a Q&A with producer Monika Braid
