"MERU" – Alex Lowe Charitable Foundation Benefit Screening, 8/29, Bozeman, Montana

Alex Lowe Charitable Foundation and BFS Host Benefit Screening of "MERU" http://www.merufilm.com/

Bozeman Film Society and The Alex Lowe Foundation are proud to present the Montana Premiere and benefit presentation of "Meru" – Winner of the 2015 Sundance Film Festival Audience Award for Documentary.

In the high-stakes pursuit of big-wall climbing, the Shark’s Fin on Mount Meru may be the ultimate prize. Sitting 21,000 feet above the sacred Ganges River in Northern India, the mountain’s perversely stacked obstacles make it both a nightmare and an irresistible calling for some of the world’s toughest climbers.

In October 2008, renowned alpinists Conrad Anker, Jimmy Chin and Renan Ozturk arrived in India to tackle Meru. Their planned seven-day trip quickly devolved into a 20-day odyssey in sub-zero temperatures with depleting food rations. Within 100 meters of the elusive summit, their journey – like all previous attempts – fell short of the goal.

Saturday, August 29 – 3:00 PM
