KILIMANJARO ~ To the Roof of Africa

Producer and Director: David Breashears
Running Time: Approx. 70 minutes

Join a band of trekkers as they journey through rugged terrain and extreme conditions to look out from Africa's highest point in the latest mountain adventure film from David Breashears (Co-Director and Expedition Leader of Everest).

Photographed in the world's largest and most evocative motion picture format, this film takes its viewers to the expansive slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro where they can experience the exceptional climates and landscapes of this mystical mountain.

This adventure of the human spirit follows five trekkers and their Chagga Mountain Guide up the largest freestanding mountain in the world. Along their journey of courage and endurance, they encounter strange landscapes and endure harsh conditions as they travel through five climate zones ranging from the lower rainforest reaches of Kilimanjaro to the summit's arctic glaciers, all the while learning about the formation of the African continent and the Great Rift Valley.

This evenings screening, while originally presented in an IMAX format, will be shown in DVD format.
