Brandon Judell CultureCatch Stephen Grynberg might be the Rick Santorum of filmmakers, and like Santorum, Grynberg might actually believe that how he addresses an issue is a completely fair one. Feb 18, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Excellent, touching documentary about a life worth living... in the most beautiful place in the world: the Canadian Rockies and its inherent dangers. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Beautiful film that portrays a different perspective of mountain guide Ruedi Beglinger and the avalanche tragedy that will mark the Selkirk Mountains forever. A MUST SEE! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Absolutely beautiful depiction of nature--gave me an appreciation for it that I did not previously have. Also shared an extremely rare--and interesting--perspective with the world: the life of a mountaineer/guide living in the remotest part of British Columbia. What a bizarre life! He has a rock climbing course built into his home for his kids to practice on...eye-opening stuff. Definitely recommend! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
