Beyond the summit - Director: Isabel Guayasamin

After an accident, Sebastián (Zuko) who was a professional mountaineer guide lost the mobility of his legs. However, he showed us through a great feat that he undertakes to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro, that the limits exist only in our minds.We see this inspiring life story through Zuko’s eyes, which is truly a thrilling adventure of resilience. The film portraits his dreams and inner journey to the peak. The camera follows the protagonist through his expedition and his family life. We get access to the mountain life spirit, we hear his voice and perspective of his own life and condition. These images witness a great social awareness and consciousness, also a motivatingpassion for nature and life purpose. We are able juxtapose though flashbacks his life, before and after the accident, and his life journey is reflected during each step of hisexpedition in Tanzania.
