The premier of High Ground on Saturday was simply awesome! Michael Brown did a fantastic job of documenting our Lobuche expedition and explaining the struggles that many returning veterans face. High Ground won both the “Call To Action” and the “People’s Choice” awards for the entire Boulder International Film Festival!
Visit the new High Ground web site to see some clips and find upcoming screenings as they are announced. And be sure to “Like” on Facebook! This film is going to be a huge help for veterans who are facing barriers of all kinds.
That’s very cool, Erik! Films like this not only help veterans and people with disabilities, but people like me who forgot what’s important. There are so many things to do besides sitting on my butt thinking I’m getting old and feeling sorry for myself. Mental and physical inertia is disabling too. Since reading “Touch the Top of the World” and watching you, Jeff and Ike on Expedition Impossible I’ve gotten involved in fundraisers, lost 45 lbs. and signed up to climb Kilimanjaro in August. Thanks for what you do for all of us!
