THE LAST EXPEDITION
Eliza Kubarska. Poland. 2024. 85’

The true story of Wanda Rutkiewicz, the first woman to climb the highest peaks on Earth. She entered a world dominated by men, and paid a very high price for it. Director Eliza Kubarska follows her footsteps in the Himalayas. The clue to the search is Wanda's audio diary: "I know perfectly well that there is no way back for me." After disappearing thirty years ago, rumors place her in a Buddhist monastery. The film, featuring contributions from Reinhold Messner, Krzysztof Wielicki and Carlos Carsolio, explores her life and its mystery.
