SUNDANCE-SELECTED DOC ‘THE LAST FIRST: WINTER K2’ LANDS TODAY, FEATURING WORK BY ECHO’S WILL PUGH!

THE LAST FIRST: WINTER K2 feature documentary lands in select cinemas and on Apple TV today, featuring cinematography by echo’s Will Pugh. 

Directed by Amir Bar-Lev, the film premiered at Sundance this year — it chronicles a historic race to complete the first winter ascent of K2 which turns into a tragedy, revealing that human ambition, ego and the pursuit of glory can be as lethal as the mountain itself. 

The film releases today in Curzon Cinemas in the UK, and globally on Apple TV. It was produced by Propagate Content, Ventureland, Object Studios and West Buttermilk.
