A visually impaired climber will try to summit Mt
Everest from Tibet, a feat that never has been accomplished
before. Thomas climbed the highest mountain on earth, trying to
raise funds for a charity project, aimed to help the blind people of
the Himalayas and to inspire people with a handicap.
From the riots in Kathmandu to the oxygen depleted
air of the "Death Zone", during the deadliest season
on Everest, the struggle of him and his team is captured until the
dramatic ending, set against a backdrop of literally breathtaking scenery and
culture.
