"The Kyrgyzstan Project" follows three elite climbers on a restorative journey to the granite big walls of Kyrgyzstan in central Asia. Matt Segal, Eric Decaria and John Dickey each have a personal struggle at stake on their adventure, the most compelling of which is the story of John Dickey, whose 2000 expedition to Kyrgyzstan ended in kidnapping by violent militants who held him and his partners at gunpoint for six days until they made a harrowing escape through the mountains. This film chronicles John's return to Kyrgyzstan and his quest for resolution, as well as Matt and Eric's first expedition since the loss of two of their closest friends to the mountains. Through this film, we learn about the meaning of friendship and the healing power of climbing adventures.
