A visually stunning documentary that weaves together two mountaineers' stories across time, exploring obsession, mortality, and the human drive to conquer nature's greatest peaks.

Uses astonishing visuals to tell the intersecting stories of George Mallory, the first man to attempt a summit of Mount Everest, and Conrad Anker, the mountaineer who finds Mallory's frozen remains 75 years later.
