Grandview Screening of "The Epic Mile"
Don't allow your injury to define you!
Determined and adventurous outdoors-man, Zack Starr, vows to defy chronic pain and inspire fellow injured veterans by tackling the Everest of hiking trails, the Pacific Crest Trail 2,650 miles up the West Coast of the United States, despite facing a 6th surgical attempt to repair a service ending shoulder injury. After 5 months of awe, majesty, weather extremes and athletic success, escalating physical, mental and emotional pain threaten Zacks finish. When word reaches him on the trail that the doctor cannot risk offering a final pain relieving shot without destroying what is left of his shoulder, Zack is left near hopeless and in extreme pain. Pursuing the trail reveals a hidden period in Zacks past where hopelessness almost took over and he nearly ended his life.
In a beautiful irony, Zacks thoughts focus on his fellow brothers and sisters in the services who face physical and mental blows daily from injury and illness and the 22 veterans a day that will commit suicide. Holding onto the faith that completing the journey is no longer a personal challenge, but a necessity for saving lives, he takes it one step at a time and one hour at a time with his eyes on the Canadian terminus.
