The Alps are the backdrop for this wry and captivating take on climate change and how idiosyncratic responses to its effects impact natives and tourists alike. Striking Alpine images, and the lengths to which the tourism industry will go to preserve them, depict an ecosystem and a population dependent on science and sleight-of-hand in equal measure. International caretakers work diligently, millions of Euros are spent, and locals worry about the future of the region, where rising temperatures lead to lowered spirits. Disquieting and beautiful, Peak takes a complex issue, and the exploration of its possible ramifications, to new heights.  TM
