テプイとは、16億～18億年前の岩石で形成される、巨大な「天空の島」と呼ばれる卓状台地で、保護すべき生物多様性の宝庫です。コナン・ドイルの小説『失われた世界』をはじめ、近年では『カールじいさんの空飛ぶ家』や『アバター』といった映画にもインスピレーションを与えており、多くの研究者たちを魅了してきました。今回の作品では、生物学者ブルース・ミーンズ博士のテプイでの生態系研究のため、『フリー・ソロ』のアレックス・ホノルドなどワールドクラスのクライミングチームがブルースとともにアマゾンのジャングル奥地に集結。人がまだ入ったことのない秘境の地で過酷なミッションに挑む様子を繊細かつダイナミックに描いています。

Photographer and filmmaker Renan Ozturk joins an expedition to solve the Mount Everest mystery of who reached the summit first. The film follows the intense expedition and the team's conflicting emotions as they push up Everest searching for the long lost body of Andrew "Sandy" Irvine, who disappeared along with climbing partner George Mallory in their 1924 attempt to reach the summit.

Reaching 29,029 feet, Mount Everest has long captivated mountaineers of all stripes. But a peak that draws athletes and mountaineers to new heights isn’t without danger — or a dark side. Perhaps the peak’s greatest mystery is the missing body of Andrew “Sandy” Irvine who disappeared alongside George Leigh Mallory in 1924 just 800 vertical feet from the summit. In Lost on Everest, we follow along as a team of elite climbers with new intel on the location of his missing body set out to solve what may be mountaineering’s great mystery. Along with the body, the team hopes to find Irvine’s camera and the footage that could rewrite history.

America has yet to heal from the trauma of its darkest era, and Winfred Rembert is living proof of that. Rembert, who lived on a plantation, joined the civil rights movement as a teen and was put to work on a chain gang, is a rare survivor of a lynching attempt. Decades later, he still carries the scars. “That lynching is on my back, and it’s dragging me down, even today,” he says. As he etches the history, bloodsoaked and cruel, into leatherwork, fellow artist Dr. Shirley Jackson Whitaker organizes a different kind of ceremony to search for healing. “It’s not just black history,” she says. “This is American history.”
