==Forming the expedition==
In October 2010, ten years after blind adventurer Erik Weihenmayer made his historic ascent of Everest, the same team of mountain guides who assisted Erik reunited to lead a group of warriors on a climb that was all about shattering barriers and misperceptions. With the help of World T.E.A.M. Sports, a veterans support organization, they created an expedition to Nepal for 11 combat veterans suffering from physical and emotional injuries sustained during service in Iraq and Afghanistan. These soldiers, representing all four branches of the military, set out to climb the 20,075 peak of Lobuche East, just 8.7 miles from Mount Everest. The expedition, known as “Soldiers to the Summit” proved yet again that returning vets can overcome any challenge.
Emmy® winning director Michael Brown, who filmed Weihenmayerʼs historic summit ten years earlier, joined the group to film this daunting climb. What followed was a year of interviews and editing that revealed the true story of the soldiersʼ difficult road to recovery as they faced a return to civilian life.
