L'ascesa dei ricordi

I just happened upon this title in my Disney+ app and decided to give it a go. It's definitely worth watching, even if you don't know the family story or the details of the patriarch's untimely death. It's beautifully put together and comes across as incredibly genuine. Be ready to grab a box of tissue.

I low key am obsessed with mountaineering. I watch any and all documentaries about this lifestyle, more times than not ,sad things go down. Your story, about Alex's story, and your family's story is done so.... I can't even explain it! Loved how it was shot, loved how the raw footage was put in, bravo Max, really enjoyed this, you did your family proud. ✌🏼

Meet Alex Lowe, his climbing partners and his family. Get to know the real hero of the Alex Lowe story, Conrad Anker. He did everything Alex could do and couldn't do. Mad respect.

Mountain climbing isn't the real subject matter here. This is a truly touching, genuine story of friendship, love, tragedy, heartbreak, and recovery. Torn by loss, a new family is bonded together with tenderness, love and care. The fragility and trials of life. Of healing, resilience, and positivity. Tears are inevitable for this one!

As a widow, my heart went out to this beautiful family trying to come to grips with the sudden loss of their husband/father. And the struggle of Conrad Anker as the soul survivor and beat friend of Alex Lowe. Beautifully filmed - heartbreaking footage and yet, a positive and hopeful continuation of family.
