The Summit Within
At its core, "The Summit Within" is a film with a profound mission.
It aims to shed light on the physical, mental, and emotional challenges faced by wounded, injured, and sick military veterans. Through their journey of attempting to climb a 4000+m mountain peak in Colorado, we explore how the conquering of a physical mountain can influence the inner summits they face within themselves.
