Description

In February 2014, a group of amputee military veterans set forth on a monumental goal for physical and spiritual recovery. They would train and climb the world’s tallest free-standing mountain, Mt. Kilimanjaro (19,341 ft) in Tanzania, Africa. Consisting of six amputees and five wing man climbers, the Kilimanjaro Warriors hiked the mountain for eight days overcoming insurmountable obstacles and new challenges with each passing mile, trusting that if you have heart and believe in yourself, anything is possible.

Producer and Lt. Col. (Ret) USAF Reservist Steve Connolly is scheduled to attend with U.S. Army veteran and film subject Steve Martin.
