In 1949, the British painter Wilhelmina Barns-Graham climbed the Grindelwald Glacier in Switzerland and had an epiphany that rewired her brain and changed her art forever. The filmmaker Mark Cousins plunges into her life and work and explores the secrets of her creativity – an exceptional and fascinating portrait of an artist. Moni Haas
