This award-winning documentary redefines what it means to rise above challenges, capturing the extraordinary life of Eitan Armon, who, though legally blind, sets his sights on scaling legendary granite wall, El Capitan. This is a tale of pure resilience, humor, and heart. It also offers us a shared ‘small-world’ experience, with surprising connections: Eitan, a Charles E. Smith JDS graduate and former IDF Soldier joins us for a post-film Q&A. Producer/Director Elena Lefkowitz, a former DC and Chevy Chase resident, and whose children also attended CESJDS, will join us as well.
