Because I can and I want to tell people how a person's life changes when they start walking again, even if they do so with the help of an exoskeleton.

For many years, I've been watching people pulling themselves out of the mire of self-pity by the hair, like Baron Munchausen, despite the doctors' prognoses and "impossibles".

My Kilimanjaro is an open and resounding manifesto
to the hidden powers of people.

I've been wanting to make a documentary for a long time, and I always fell in love with simple, human stories about Life as it is and Love, which is present in every person's life.

When Kate called me, I immediately knew I wanted to make this movie, as this is a chance to tell a story about the highest form of love – love of life.

I’ve never been one to stay in my comfort zone, always driven to take on complex challenges. The Kilimanjaro project came at just the right time — 10 years after my first attempt fell short, it now symbolizes a new chapter in my life. Today I have a deeper understanding of the beauty of life, and the internal struggles and strength of those around me.

This climb and filming will be a shared journey, and together, we will make this ascent, and it will leave a lasting mark on our hearts.
