Germany, 2004, 44 minutes
Directed by Ludwig Ott
Produced by Jo Angerer

This documentary about the tragic death of Reinhold Messner’s brother on Nanga Parbat features film material, photos taken in the extreme conditions of the ascent, and interviews with participants of previous expeditions who talk for the first time on camera about the tragic event, allowing this 1970 expedition to be seen in a new light. Included is unseen film shot by the cameraman, the only witness to spend the night with Messner’s brother before the latter climbed the peak.
