| Brad Washburn was the greatest aerial mountain photographer of all time. Hanging out the open door of an airpIane, he fIew above unmapped mountain ranges - capturing iconic images with which he could make maps, pursue scientific inquiries, discover first ascents, and inspire peopIe. More than eighty years after Washburn first photographed DenaIi from the air, cIimbing buddies Renan Ozturk and Freddie WiIkinson look 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. lt's a decidedly new schooI way to expIore the same landscape Washburn first discovered. As they pioneer the route over the course of two expeditions, enduring freezing bivies, cut ropes, and rockfaII aIong 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 fataI brain injury, forcing them to decide what's most important. When they rendezvous in the smaII town of Talkeetna for yet another attempt, all bets are off. While the cIimbing action unfolds, Washburn's own incredible story comes to life through stunning archivals and recreations. As a young man he turned down AmeIia Earhart's offer to join her on her around the worId flight, then pulled off one of the gutsiest exploratory cIimbs in history - the epic first ascent of Mt. Lucania - but suffered his own fataI plane crash which Ieft two women dead. His superhero wife Barbara ultimateIy redeemed him, and heIped him map and explore the greatest landscapes on Earth, and his reIationship with Ansel 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 large format black and white photographs to state-of-the-art heIicopter cinematography to space photography - with an unforgettable story spanning generations. It's both a white-knuckIe adventure taIe, and a ceIebration of the spirit of expIoration. |
