Double Play is a drama set against the beauty and bittersweet complexity of Curacao, where poverty and wealth are two sides of the same coin. It follows Ostrik (Dani Dare), who is now a grown man working as a doctor in the Netherlands, as he returns to his childhood home to confront ghosts of his past revealed to him in a mysterious letter. Through his memories, we witness the sometimes-dangerous moves that adults made for the sake of survival in a time of turmoil and colonial unrest during the 1970s.

The film penned by Evan Jones and Alaric Smeets also stars Lennie James, Melanie Liburd, Alana “la la” Anthony, Bronson Pinchot, Louis Gossett, Jr., Colin Salmon, Mustafa Shakir, Isaach De Bankolé, Barbara Eve Harris, Alexander Karim, Saycon Sengbloh and Heather Jocelyn Blair.

Universal Pictures Content Group has set the documentary The Last Mountain, from Emmy winner Chris Terrill (Alison’s Last Mountain), for release on digital and VOD platforms in the U.S. on March 14.

The film explores the forces that drove two mountaineers to their untimely deaths—a quarter of a century apart. Tom Ballard was a British rock climber, alpinist and the son of mountaineer Alison Hargreaves, who perished on K2 in 1995. Mother and son, two of the greatest climbers of all time, died at almost the same age, in the same mountain range, both doing what they loved best. They now lie forever encased in the ice of the high Himalayas. Left behind to cope with the enduring tragedy are Tom’s sister, Kate, and their father, Jim.

The Last Mountain follows Kate Ballard on an emotional journey to say goodbye to her brother on Nanga Parbat. Combining years of intimate, unseen family archive with footage of the family that director, Chris Terrill, has shot in the years since Alison’s passing, the documentary tells the unforgettable story of a family who lived—and were prepared to die—for the love of scaling the icy heights of the world’s highest peaks, and explore what it is that drives people to pit themselves against nature at its most ferocious and unforgiving.

Emmy winner Julia Nottingham (Skate Kitchen, Kingdom of Us) produced with BAFTA Award winner Olivia Lichtenstein (Teddy Pendergrass: If You Don’t Know Me, Silent Twins: Without My Shadow).
