SYNOPSIS:
This Documentary follows the story of Grant Korgan who, five months after marrying the love of his life, burst-fractured his L1 vertebrae while filming a snowmobiling segment in the Sierra Nevada Back Country. In an instant, this nanoscientist, and extreme athlete had added the world of spinal cord injury recovery to his list of pursuits. On 2012 Grant attempted the insurmountable, and became the first spinal cord injured athlete to literally PUSH himself, nearly 100 miles (the final degree of latitude), to the most inhospitable place on the planet – the bottom of the globe, the geographic South Pole.
