Meru
horizontal line

[Plays on Aug. 7 as part of AARP's Movie for Grownups and available on Amazon Prime and other VOD platforms.] Striking photography and mountain scenery and brief commentary by "Into Thin Air" author Jon Krakauer highlight this intense, awe-inspiring, gut-wrenching, 90-minute, 2015 documentary that follows the initial harrowing ascent in 2008 and the equally treacherous second attempt in 2011 of three mountain climbers, including Montana-based Conrad Anker, Wyoming-based Jimmy Chin who miraculously survived an avalanche, and Utah-based Renan Ozturk who suffered a near-fatal traumatic brain injury after a climbing accident, as they use all of their skill, tenacity, and fortitude to climb the 4,000-foot wall known as the "Shark's Fin" on India's Mount Meru.
