Project 365

2012 - 49min

Steve Richert, a type 1 diabetic rock climber, takes on a year long trans-continental marathon expedition: climbing every single day with no days off to challenge the limits of an incurable condition and make a statement to the world. After 13 year of taking multiple insulin injections every day, monitoring blood sugar, diet and exercise, Steve Richert decided that having diabetes was no reason to accept defeat - in fact, it was his diagnosis that prompted a journey into the vertical world to demonstrate that the challenges we face are of vital importance. Follow his ups and downs, across North America, while living out of an old car, juggling a chronic illness, voluntary homelessness, marriage and gravity - every day, with no days off.
