THE LAST MOUNTAIN

The Last Mountain (2021) is a poignant, visually stunning British documentary that chronicles the intersecting lives and tragic deaths of legendary mountaineers Alison Hargreaves and her son, Tom Ballard. Directed by Christopher Terrill, the film explores grief, obsession, and the profound emotional weight carried by the family.

The Last Mountain has a purity and simplicity that is somehow in keeping with the philosophy of its subjects. It’s a film about the inarticulacy of grief and the magnetic pull of the mountains. (Chitra Ramaswamy, Guardian 2021)
