        Light of the Himalaya

        Beautiful! Wonderful cinematography. Obviously a skilled crew shooting from afar and up close along with all of the athletes in the Himalayan mountain range. This film was very touching! It was great to see an adventure film that focused on the human story. Not only were the alpine shots gorgeous, the images of people once blind having their sight restored was incredibly powerful. The doctor native to Nepal was extremely impressive. Great score, paired well with the extreme emotions. End with a great line, "We should think of all humans beings as one big family." I love it.

        After watching this film I want to travel to Nepal, donate money to this project and do my part to give back to the world!

        An insight into another way of living

        This movie affirms that one person can make a difference. The two doctors in the film have made a global impact on blindness in 3rd world countries, which is absolutely amazing. It's very cool to see real solutions that go further than the often 'band-aid' approach of throwing money at a problem.

        Some of the quick surgery scenes are not for the faint of heart, but it's absolutely amazing that they are able to operate on a human eye in locations like the high Himalaya. Seeing this film in High Definition is a must!

        The two stories of the climb and eye surgery camps worked together quite well. Overall a very touching movie with some great moments of humor!
