Soldiers to the Summit
Sunday, March 27th, 2011
Serac Adventure Films is currently in the process of producing a film that tells the story of eleven wounded veterans whose road to recovery takes them into the Khumbu Valley of Nepal, and up to the summit of one of the great mountains near Mt.

To stay on top of what's happening with the film and the veterans in the film, Serac Adventure Films has recently launched a blog.
In the meantime, you can watch a short trailer from the film:
