Synopsis: Jeff Lowe’s Metanoia is the story of a legendary athlete’s rise to the top of his sport before a devastating fall from grace that precipitated perhaps the boldest solo mountain climb in history. Jeff’s “unimaginable” new route, Metanoia – solo, in winter, up the North Face of the Eiger – changed his life and prepared him for the greatest adventure he’s ever been on. Twenty years later, Jeff embraces a debilitating disease with the same vision, courage and grace that he brought to his climbing. Choosing love over fear and embracing reality, Jeff ‘s indomitable spirit and sense of humor defy the odds as he slowly loses his physical abilities and faces his own mortality. Narrated by Jon Krakauer.

“Jeff’s story is one that needed to be told, and it was nothing short of a privilege to bring it to the big screen. His life has been so full of rich experiences, twists and turns, ups and downs, lessons learned – all the things that you need in a hero’s journey. Studying Jeff’s life before and after his illness revealed his greatest strength as a human being, not just an athlete, and that will stick with me for the rest of my life.” – Jim Aikman, Director.
