CTD's history making and award winning Team Everest '03 was a huge success! Team Everest twice made history: first when the largest group of people with various disabilities successfully climbed to Mt. Everest Base Camp at over 19,000 ft. elevation and then again when team Leader Gary Guller became the first man with one arm to summit Mt. Everest!
CTD's Annual Cinema Touching Disability's goals involve illustrating how people with disabilities lead both ordinary and extraordinary lives, hold diverse attitudes, and possess varied accomplishments and abilities, as do all members of society. CTD also wishes to convey that one's spirit need not be limited, either by a disability or society's stereotypes regarding disability. This year, CTD will hold the festival at the Alamo Drafthouse on S. Lamar on Fri., Oct. 20 and Sat., Oct. 21, 2006.
