Team Everest: A Himalayan Journey
"Team Everest: A Himalayan Journey" chronicles a remarkable group of trekkers on an expedition to the world's highest mountain. If they succeed in their quest, the team will be the largest group of people with disabilities ever to reach Mount Everest Base Camp.
Five men in wheelchairs and their teammates—representing a range of disabilities—trek 21 days through the high Himalaya. A Nepali support team is engaged to help push, pull, and carry members over the rugged, steep terrain. The altitude, intense cold, and daily challenges of trekking in one of the most inaccessible places on earth is enough to stop even the most experienced hikers in their tracks.
"Team Everest" documents the strength of the human will, as it dares us to reach beyond our perceived limitations and explores our unlimited capacity to dream.
