For outdoor adventurers and fans of feel-good stories about overcoming remarkable odds…an extraordinary documentary that you won’t want to miss. – Tokyo Filmgoer

Recipient of the Documentary Award at Japan Movie Critics Awards in May 2024. Koba, who is completely without sight and his sight guide Naoya, have won the IFSC Paraclimbing World Championship four times in total blind class. In 2021, they reunite with Eric Weihenmayer, a blind climber who has triumphed over the highest peaks on all seven continents, profoundly influencing Koba's life. Heading to Moab, Utah, they plan to have Koba stand on top of the famous “Fisher Towers” a dream climbing spot for Koba. An inspiring and edge-of-your-seat documentary.
