Trivia
On May 25, 2001, Erik Weihenmayer became the only blind person to reach the summit of Mt. Everest. In 2008 he climbed Carstensz Pyramid on the island of Papua New Guinea, completing the Seven Summits, the highest point on every continent. This accomplishment closed the circuit on a 13-year journey that had begun with his 1995 ascent of Denali. He is joined by a select company of only 150 mountaineers to have accomplished the feat.

Prime Video has you covered this holiday season with movies for the family. Here are some of our picks to get you in the spirit.
I found this movie a pleasure. As a mom, I noticed this film was free of anything parents wouldn't want their kids to see. Most would want them to see it, because it's not only good entertainment, but inspiring to people of all ages.
As this is a true story, the message is all the more powerful. Many people lack confidence and will power, which often keeps them from setting goals and experiencing the fulfillment of achieving them. This film shows viewers what a person can do (conquer Mt. Everest) in spite of a significant disadvantage---complete blindness! And, as one might expect, the scenery is breathtaking!
Erik's autobiography is the same title as the movie, and will provide further insights about this remarkable man.
