On Oct. 5, 1999, legendary climber Alex Lowe was tragically lost alongside cameraman and fellow climber David Bridges in a deadly avalanche on the slopes of the Tibetan mountain, Shishapangma. Miraculously surviving the avalanche was Alexs best friend and climbing partner, renowned mountaineer Conrad Anker. After the tragedy, Anker and Alexs widow, Jennifer, fell in love and married, and Anker stepped in to help raise Alexs three sons.

Torn, directed by Alexs oldest son Matt, delivers a profoundly intimate look at the Lowe-Anker family using never-before-released archival footage of the ill-fated 1999 expedition, early footage of Alex and Anker as young climbers, personal home videos and strikingly candid interviews with the Lowe-Ankers. The film follows Max in his quest to understand his iconic late father as he explores familys complex relationships in the wake of his fathers death.
