CELEBRATING CONQUERING KILIMANJARO
One year ago today, more than 500 people packed Orlando's Full Sail Live, rising to their feet to celebrate Bolder Docs’ first film, Conquering Kilimanjaro, which tells the inspirational story of 16 cancer survivors and advocates’ attempt to summit the world’s tallest free-standing mountain. Since that premiere night (click here to watch highlights from the premiere), the film has been seen by people across the world and aired on local and national TV stations. In fact, it's been nominated for a 2015 EMMY® Award by the Suncoast Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.
Conquering Kilimanjaro is more than a film; it's a powerful testament to the power of hope and love, even amongst a group of strangers who banded together to do the seemingly impossible. It's a reminder of goodness in the world we all need now more than ever.
