Meru

This movie is about the mountain climbing expedition for the Shark’s Fin route up the Meru Peak in the Himalayas.  If you see the film, you will see a documentary about superhuman men.  If you are like me, you will be shouting on the inside for these men to stop what they are doing – just stop.  It is a crazy film that explores the boundaries of what risks are logical versus illogical.

Cartel Land

If you live in a place that is relatively free of corruption, and the government supports the rule of law, be thankful.  This film will take you to places that you don’t want to be.  It is a lesson in humanity, both good and bad – but real.

“I really quickly realized the lines between good and evil are quite blurry. The story ended up going to places I never dreamed of.”  – Matt Heineman, Director of the documentary

Clouds of Sils Maria

My favorite part of this movie was learning about the natural phenomena of “Das Wolkenphänomen von Maloja” or the “Maloja Snake”.  This is a cloud bank that moves its way along a valley in the Alps and has been compared to a giant dragon or the largest boa constrictor in the world.  The scenery in the Alps is absolutely wonderful!
