Tragedy struck in the Tibetan Himalayas on October 5, 1999, when an avalanche claimed the life of two Americans, including Alex Lowe, a mountaineer considered perhaps the foremost climber in the world.
It was an incalculable loss for the climbing community, but something worse for the family Lowe left behind: wife Jennifer and their three young boys, Max, Sam and Isaac. Max, who grew up to be a filmmaker, attempts to come to terms with his father’s death and all that happened after it in the National Geographic documentary“Do you have any memories of dad?” Max asks his younger brother Sam in the new trailer for the film.
Max, who was 10 when his father was killed on Shisapangma, one of the tallest peaks on Earth, was old enough to have spent more quality time with dad than his younger siblings did, and therefore suffered the loss all the more intensely.
Anker, stricken with grief and a sense of guilt of having survived the disaster, spent more and more time with the Lowes after Alex was lost on the mountain. Over time, he and Jennifer became closer; they fell in love, eventually married, and Anker adopted the Lowe boys as his own sons. “You were upset with me at first,” Jennifer Lowe-Anker tells Max in the film. “You didn’t take to Conrad like your brothers.”“I will never make another film in my life quite like,” Max Lowe said in a statement. “In it, I have imbued a small part my own soul, and to be able to share that with audiences across the world in the sanctity of a theatre is a very special realization.”is produced by Max Lowe, Chris Murphy, Jonathan Chinn and Simon Chinn. Michael Harte is the film’s writer and editor.

Alex Jones liable for defamation in Sandy Hook 'hoax' caseInfowars host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones was found liable Monday for damages in lawsuits brought by parents of children killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting over Jones' claims that the massacre was a hoax. Judge Barbara Bellis took the rare step of defaulting Jones in the defamation lawsuits for his and his companies' “failure to produce critical material information that the plaintiffs needed to prove their claims.” Lawyers for the parents claimed Jones and his companies, including Infowars and Free Speech Systems, violated court rules by failing to turn over documents to them, including internal company documents showing how, and if, Jones and Infowars profited from talking about the school shooting and other mass shootings.
