A young poet with autism faces Africa’s highest peak.

After his first year of college, Troy, a young man with autism, gets roped into an extreme fundraising climb up Mt. Kilimanjaro, the world’s tallest freestanding mountain. As the climb progresses, he begins writing poetry at the urging of the filmmaker, Ben Stamper, as a way to process his experience and garner strength to continue. As Troy begins to find his own voice, the mountain becomes the central metaphor for an emerging poet caught in the middle of a highly competitive father and a doting mother. This is a film about letting the voiceless speak and define for themselves the meaning of their accomplishments apart from the world’s agendas.
