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!

The documentary is a form of non-fiction storytelling that aims to present factual information, insights, and perspectives on real-world subjects, events, issues, or people.
