The Last Expedition

The story of the best female mountaineer in the world, an icon of an independent, strong-willed woman, ruthlessly pursuing her goal, who changed the male-centred order of the climbing world, her rise and fall, and how she opened the way to the Himalayas for the next generation of female climbers. Multi-award winning filmmaker and mountaineer E.K. („Wall of Shadows“, „K2-Touching The Sky“, „Walking Under Water“) goes in search of Wanda Rutkiewicz, who disappeared in the Himalayas 30 years ago. Eliza follows in the footsteps of Wanda‘s last expedition from Nepal to Tibet over the highest peaks to Kanchenjunga to find out what really happened.
