High Ground is a 2012 American documentary film, directed by Michael Brown, about eleven veterans who set off to climb the tallest peak in the Himalayas to heal the physical and emotional wounds of war. The expedition is led by blind adventurer Erik Weihenmayer, the first blind man to summit Mount Everest, and a team of experienced mountain climbers who guide this team of wounded veterans up the summit.
After an initial premiere at the Boulder International Film Festival, the film was selected for participation in the Newport Beach Film Festival, Sarasota Film Festival, and the Seattle International Film Festival. The domestic release was in August 2012; the DVD release was for Veteran's Day 2012.
