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. Premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival. *“The Last First is a revealing look at how they risked their lives for an ideal, maybe for an addiction. It’s a movie that shows us the dark side of literally getting high. That’s engrossing, to a point, but it’s not exhilarating.”* **-Variety** *"Not only an adventure tale, it also surveys pride and tragedy and questions the role of accountability, constructing a film as damning as it is exhilarating."* **– RogerEbert.com** Year: January 2026 Filmmaker: Amir Bar-Lev Runtime: 98 minutes
