Apple TV announced it has bought worldwide distribution for The Last First: Winter K2, the documentary that just earned a standing ovation at Sundance. Directed by veteran filmmaker Amir Bar-Lev, the film follows a 2021 winter attempt on K2, the world’s deadliest peak, featuring climbers John Snorri Sigurjónsson and the Pakistani duo Ali and Sajid Sadpara.

Apple’s acquisition adds to a growing slate that already includes titles like CODA, which fetched over $25 million at Sundance and swept three Oscars, and documentaries such as *Boys State* and *The Pigeon Tunnel*. By bolstering its nonfiction library, Apple TV aims to differentiate its $12.
