In Tasmania's World Heritage wilderness stands one of Australia's most challenging mountains, Federation Peak. In an epic 28-day journey, Warren Macdonald, having lost his legs in an accident two years before, casts off the social constraints so readily applied to the "disabled" and climbs the peak, becoming the first double- above-knee amputee to do so.
A profound story of one man’s extraordinary courage and determination to take back control of his life.
