Dead Mountain - 2020 - 7/10
AKA - Pereval Dyatlova // Перевал Дятлова

Docudrama based on the 1959 Dyatlov Pass Incident, where hikers mysteriously froze to death.
Nine students from Ural Polytechnic head for the Otorten peak in January.
Accompanying them is a helper / observer, we later discover is KGB, mission undisclosed.
The series has two narratives, the hike and subsequent investigation.
In addition, there are numerous WWII flashbacks of the storming of Berlin by two characters.
Finally, local Mansi natives repeatedly warn the group the mountain is dangerous, an evil spirit.
Gripping throughout with superb photography and production values.
Best viewed during the coldest months.

Happier days. Students relaxing, checklisting inventory, eager for adventure.
