Beyond Limits Trailer

At 19,340 feet, Mount Kilimanjaro is the tallest freestanding mountain in the world and a daunting climb for any person to attempt. But Bonner Paddock isn't just any person.

Born with cerebral palsy, Bonner has limited motor function in his lower body, spastic leg muscles, and no sense of balance. Not a mountain climber by his own admission, Bonner's encounters with kids with CP inspire him to take on Kilimanjaro in order to raise awareness about cerebral palsy and to raise funds to build a comprehensive center for children with disabilities.

With months of training under his belt and driven by his own determined spirit, it seems Bonner can't fail. But Bonner soon learns that there is no preparation for what he finds on the mountain. Over 8 days and 64 miles, the steep climbs, freezing temperatures, and ever-thinning oxygen test not just his physical abilities, but his will. Ultimately, in order to summit Kilimanjaro Bonner will have to go beyond the limits -- physical and mental -- that we set for ourselves.
