Docu-drama, directed by Tabar\u00e9 Blanchard, the film depicts an extraordinary and inspirational story of human determination and achievement. In May 2011, a Caribbean expedition managed to make history by hoisting the Dominican flag at the summit of the world\u2019s highest mountain: Mount Everest. The impressive feat inspired three young boys, sons of fishermen from the small southern Dominican town of Nizao, to set out to conquer the highest peak of the island and the Caribbean Antilles: Pico Duarte. This is the story that unites the story of the Mountaineers with that of the young boys, who learn the importance of personal strength, teamwork, comradeship and discipline, in overcoming obstacles and achieving present and future goals.<\/P>
