before see this and i be put off by the subject matter and but this be not your average triumph over adversity story . although this be technically about blind tibetan kid climb mt . everest and there be so much more to it . this movie show the very strong and often contradictory personality of two highly accomplished blind adult lead the child and erik and sabriye . erik be an american blind mountain climber or athlete and sabriye be a blind german academic who start a school in lhasa tibet . they be both exceptional in their own way and but disagree on what will really build confidence in the kid . erik want them to reach the summit while sabriye want them to enjoy erik a a role model and take pleasure in moment . the nuance be complicate and one walk away not really be sure who be right or if the whole climb be a mistake or a great idea . the most profound scene be with the tibetan child themselves and the hardship they face before find their way to the school . the most moving for me be the story of tashi and a frail teenager who grow up on the street after his parent abandon him . i could watch a whole movie on his life and be happy to learn that thanks to the school and he be now run a successful small business with some of his fellow student . if you like spellbound or murderball and you will love this .
