Photo: ‘The Last Mountain’ Introduction and Background In 1995, mountain climber Alison Jane Hargreaves died while descending from K2, as part of a personal goal to climb the three tallest mountains in the world unaided. She had already climbed Mount Everest, being the first woman to do so without aid, and had plans to climb Kanchenjunga. Years later, her son Tom Ballard followed in her footsteps in becoming a skilled mountain climber, but unfortunately met the same fate when attempting to climb Nanga Parbat alongside Italian climber Daniele Nardi.

"You can't conquer the mountain." DocBusters has unveiled an official US trailer for another new mountain climbing doc called The Lost Mountain, from filmmaker Chris Terrill. This is arriving on VOD to watch in the US starting in March, if anyone wants to give this a look. The film tells the unforgettable story of the 30-year-old climber Tom Ballard who disappeared on the so-called killer mountain, Nanga Parbat, in 2019. Ballard was a British rock climber, alpinist and the son of mountaineer Alison Hargreaves, who perished on K2 in 1995. Mother & son, two of the greatest climbers of all time, died at almost the same age, in the same mountain range, both doing what they loved best. They now lie forever encased in the ice of the Himalayas. Left behind to cope with the enduring tragedy are his sister, Kate, and their father, Jim. The Last Mountain is a heart-breaking yet uplifting...

Exclusive: Freestyle Digital Media has acquired North American rights to Double Play, the latest feature from award-winning filmmaker Ernest Dickerson. The digital film distribution division of Byron Allen’s Allen Media Group/Entertainment Studios will release the film, based on Curaçaoan author Frank Martinus Arion’s internationally acclaimed Dutch-language novel Dubbelspel, on digital and VOD platforms on February 22.
Double Play is a drama set against the beauty and bittersweet complexity of Curacao, where poverty and wealth are two sides of the same coin. It follows Ostrik (Dani Dare), who is now a grown man working as a doctor in the Netherlands, as he returns to his childhood home to confront ghosts of his past revealed to him in a mysterious letter. Through his memories, we witness the sometimes-dangerous moves that adults made for the sake of survival in a time of turmoil and colonial unrest during the 1970s.
