Award-Winning Documentary "Blindsight" Premiers, Features KBT President

The Kilimanjaro Blind Trust is excited for the release of Blindsight, an award-winning documentary that features Kilimanjaro Blind Trust President Erik Weihenmayer leading a group of 6 Tibetan teenagers to the heights of the 23,000 foot Lhakpa Ri, a peak situated on the north side of Mount Everest.

The film has already received much acclaim from numerous movie critics. Here is one quote from a recent New York Times movie review: "Featuring exceptional people doing extraordinary things, “Blindsight” is one of those documentaries with the power to make you re-examine your entire life — or at least get off the couch." - New York Times
