Anna is an intimate, unflinching portrait of North Face mountaineer Anna Pfaff as she grapples with the aftermath of a life-altering frostbite injury in Alaska, which led to the amputation of six of her toes. This adventure documentary doesn’t just follow her physical recovery—it explores the profound evolution of her character, the painful yet powerful journey toward acceptance, and the metamorphosis of both body and spirit. With the steadfast support of her partner, Andres Marin, Anna faces the raw reality of her transformation, learning to adapt and move forward in ways she never imagined. Anna is more than a story of survival; it’s a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, the strength to embrace change, and the courage to keep climbing—no matter the obstacles. A breathtaking exploration of recovery, reinvention, and the limitless power of movement.
