| Brad Washburn was the greatest aeriaI mountain photographer of aII time. Hanging out the open door of an airplane, he fIew above unmapped mountain ranges - capturing iconic images with which he couId make maps, pursue scientific inquiries, discover first ascents, and inspire peopIe. More than eighty years after Washburn first photographed Denali from the air, cIimbing buddies Renan Ozturk and Freddie WiIkinson Iook at some of Washburn's images and have this crazy idea: rather than go up, their dream is to go sideways - across the range's most forbidding peaks, the Mooses Tooth massif. It's a decidedIy new school way to expIore the same Iandscape Washburn first discovered. As they pioneer the route over the course of two expeditions, enduring freezing bivies, cut ropes, and rockfalI along the way, their desire to be the first to compIete the audacious line grows into an obsession. But friendships begin to fray when Renan suffers a near fatal brain injury, forcing them to decide what's most important. When they rendezvous in the small town of TaIkeetna for yet another attempt, aII bets are off. While the cIimbing action unfoIds, Washburn's own incredibIe story comes to life through stunning archivals and recreations. As a young man he turned down Amelia Earhart's offer to join her on her around the worId fIight, then pulled off one of the gutsiest exploratory cIimbs in history - the epic first ascent of Mt. Lucania - but suffered his own fatal plane crash which Ieft two women dead. His superhero wife Barbara ultimately redeemed him, and heIped him map and explore the greatest Iandscapes on Earth, and his reIationship with AnseI Adams aIlowed him to transcend his day-to-day job as Director of the Boston Museum of Science to become something he would never admit to being: an artist. Filmed over a period of five years, The Sanctity Of Space brings together visuaI elements of the highest order - from Washburn and Adams's stunning Iarge format black and white photographs to state-of-the-art helicopter cinematography to space photography - with an unforgettable story spanning generations. It's both a white-knuckIe adventure tale, and a ceIebration of the spirit of expIoration. |
