Journey to Everest

[1] Directed by David Kiern and produced by Mitchell Galin for Epiphany Documentary Films, it follows the story of six Americans as they trek to Mount Everest.

On their way into the mountains to begin their ascent, they are bumped from a plane flight that crashes and kills 18 people.

As they struggle with their decision of whether to continue on their trek, their faith comes into the fore as they experience the Hindu/Buddhist world of Kathmandu, Nepal, face the challenges of the Everest Region, and discover the depths of who they are as Christians in a life-altering way.

The world premiere was held at Thoroughbred Cinemas in Franklin, TN, and was a benefit for local Nepali Refugees.

"[1] During the summer of 2010, the film screened in over 275 churches in an effort to support Christian ministries, specifically foreign missions.
