When it comes to inspiring adventure films, they don’t come much more powerful than this. The short documentary below introduces us to Tate MacDowell and Brian McDonnell, both of whom were diagnosed with colorectal cancer back in 2016. The two men went through stages of denial and fear, but eventually they decided they weren’t ready to give up on life. Instead, they set a challenge for themselves to climb the Grand Teton, not only for themselves but for the loved ones in their life too. The result is this beautiful video.
