Looked like a great film. BUT! After ever commercial break the movie restarted out of sequence. I quit watching after the second break when the movie restarted from the beginning. PLEASE PLEASE get the bugs out of your programming.

One of the top adventure films of all time -- blind climber Eric Weihenmayer's renowned summit of Mt. EverestAn intimate look inside one of the most successful Mount Everest expeditions ever. This award-winning film beautifully captures the emotion, humor and drama of blind climber Erik Weihenmayer’s historic ascent as well as four other remarkable ‘firsts’ on Mount Everest. “Though there were questions about the wisdom of the attempt before the team even left home, the clear and definitive success of the expedition proves what people working together, with a common vision, can accomplish. By rallying behind Erik, nineteen of twenty-one team members stood on the top. The oldest climber ever reached the summit along with his son, an American first. And finally, with the help of Sherpas, we were able to bring an HD camera along to capture historic moments with Erik and his team on the summit.” - Michael Brown, Director

The three-time Emmy winner has traveled to the tops of some of the highest peaks in the world — including four trips to the summit of Mount Everest — as part of his adventure filmmaking business. His work has been picked up by National Geographic, NBC, CBS, ABC, ESPN, OLN, the BBC and the Discovery Channel, but his film Farther Than the Eye Can See was full of milestones. It documents blind climber Erik Weihenmayer’s ascent to the summit of Mount Everest, but also marks the first time an HD camera was brought to the peak. Below, Hulu asked Brown about this project and Weihenmayer’s incredible journey. — Rebecca Harper, Hulu.com
