Second Wind

Second Wind

Special Limited Screening in co-presentation with ReelAbilities Film Festival

From the battlefields of Ukraine to the roof of Africa, five heroes are rewriting the definition of impossible. Four amputee soldiers and a female sniper severely wounded in combat embark on an awe-inspiring expedition to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. Their journey is more than a physical feat; it’s a profound act of defiance and a powerful symbol of a nation’s struggle, of the hope emerging from the ashes of war, and a universal testament to the resilience of the human spirit.

Second Wind documents the raw inner transformations: overcoming pain, rethinking the trauma of war, and finding power in brotherhood. Ultimately, their ascent is a powerful call to action, inspiring a post-war generation to face their struggles head-on. 

This is an advance presentation of working materials for the film. Screening proceeds go to the Edlavitch DCJCC, a registered nonprofit organization.
