The Summit film is a feature length documentary that examines the most basic aspects of human nature placed at the mercy of Mother nature. In August, 2008, 18 mountain climbers reached the top of K2. 48 hours later, 11 people were dead. While memorials paid tribute to those killed, there were also condemnations about ‘the why.’ Why do these athletes risk everything to reach a place humans are simply not meant to go? The body is literally dying each second above 8000 meters. K2 has been conquered before, half a century ago, so this expedition was not ‘a first’ of any kind. Had it been successful, the world would have hardly noticed. But in the aftermath of tragedy there was a media feeding frenzy that created celebrities and untold wealth for some of those who did survive. The Summit Film is about the very nature of adventure in the Modern World.

Numerous organizations have taken up the fight against this community wide atrocity. The church is entering that battle as she is moved by compassion and a sense of justice to make a significant contribution. That help can only come through a unified effort. These groups are doing great work and Compassion Connect seeks to support them by helping people get involved with them. Compassion Connect is committed to helping coordinate work and providing the needed information for the Church to serve as Jesus' body to bring His love and freedom to the captives.
