Farther Than The Eye Can See

Farther Than The Eye Can See is a 2003 documentary directed by Michael Brown that follows the story of the blind climber Erik Weihenmayer as he successfully climbs Mount Everest. It also features four other impressive 'firsts' that occurred on Everest. It was produced by Snag Films. While people questioned the wisdom behind a blind min climbing Everest, the success of his journey, and this subsequent documentary proved that people working with each other, united in a common vision, can accomplish their goal, no matter how possibly outlandish it may seem. Time Magazine even called Wiehenmayer's climb the most successful Everest Expedition ever undertaken. It was shot with HD cameras that captured each historic moment with crystal clear clarity. Erik Weihenmayer was born with a rare degenerative eye disease that slowly but surely robbed him completely of his sight by age thirteen. However he was introduced to climbing by his father when he was younger, so the dream of climbing Everest was set in him for a long time. MORE [EDIT]
