"The Last First: Winter K2" is a harrowing documentary by Amir Bar-Lev that explores the dangerous commercialization of extreme climbing. The film follows Icelandic mountaineer John Snorri Sigurjonsson and the father-son Pakistani team of Ali and Sajid Sadpara as they attempt to scale K2 in winter, a feat never before achieved.
