One Revolution The Movie

Описание: ONE REVOLUTION intimately captures Chris Waddell’s journey to dare greatly and ultimately to live fully. This film chronicles the heart and spirit behind an extraordinary achievement as it documents the first almost entirely unassisted paraplegic ascent of 19,340-foot Mt. Kilimanjaro.

The film features Chris Waddell, thirteen-time Paralympic medalist, five years removed from his final international competition, and Tajiri Mungaya, a Tanzanian Porter whose leg was amputated after a tragic rockslide on the slopes of Kilimanjaro. Chris begins the journey seeking international visibility for disabled athletes with Tajiri who is determined to return to the the mountain that stole his leg and his livelihood. As they doggedly continue up the mountain the two are besieged by rocks, dust, cold, darkness, altitude, fatigue, equipment failures and fear. It is their determination and the emotional support of their traveling companions that provides the only respite in a seemingly impossible journey.

Together they attempt to break two world records and become the first Tanzanian amputee and the world's first paraplegic to make it to the summit of Kilimanjaro without being pushed pulled or carried.

“Amanda Stoddard beautifully captures the moments of joy and frustration that were part of the climb, as well as Waddell’s persistence and incredible determination.” Kerry A. Dolan, Forbes
