The documentary film "10 Mountains 10 Years" focuses on the struggle against Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. Directed by Jennifer Yee, the film ventures into the climbing expeditions led by the organization "The Regulars." This was an effort to raise awareness and funds for these neurological disorders. Anne Hathaway lent her voice to narrate this powerful story, emphasizing the importance of research and support for patients and families affected by these conditions.
The "10 Mountains 10 Years" initiative aimed to scale ten summits over ten years, highlighting both the physical challenge and the persistent fight against these diseases. The film documents the climbs, providing insight into the personal stories of team members directly impacted by these illnesses. It shows how the physical endurance required to climb these mountains parallels the ongoing battle faced by those with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
The documentary shares statistical insights into the widespread impact of these diseases. According to the Alzheimer's Association, millions worldwide suffer from Alzheimer's, with roughly one in three seniors dying with the disease or another dementia. Likewise, the Parkinson’s Foundation reports that approximately ten million people are living with Parkinson's globally. These figures underscore the importance of the cause that "The Regulars" supported.
The climb served dual purposes—it was both a tribute to individuals affected and a call to action for increased research funding. The documentary captures the arduous journey of the climbs, the team’s dedication, and moments of triumph and struggle. Anne Hathaway's narration brings a poignant and informative tone to the film, making the message clear and impactful.
