American Highpoints
This adventure film is the world's first, feature-length documentary to introduce the little known sport of 'highpointing,' a unique hobby for climbers and outdoor adventurers. The story begins as a father and daughter team attempt to chronicle their journey to reach the highest point in every state. But the quest turns more serious as they learn Wyoming's Gannett Peak is deep in wilderness territory. When the father becomes injured, his daughter forges ahead with a group of climbers - among them, an accomplished teenage rock climber who is challenged by a disability. The film themes are adventure, perseverance, youthful coming-of-age, triumph over adversity and wilderness appreciation and preservation. The film includes stunning scenic cinematography of the rarely seen Wind River Range in Wyoming. Filmmakers were the first to be granted a commercial film permit for Wyoming's Fitzpatrick Wilderness.

I have to say it is the best movie ever. The directors made no mistakes. It is just perfect!
Outstanding! I recommend this movie highly as it kept my attention completely.
Enjoyed. Entertaining. Thank you. :-)
If you are looking for a good movie to watch, I have to say it is well worth the viewing, not too predictable. Sit back and relax, you'll enjoy this gem.
A little long but great story and visuals
It kept you going I couldn't putt it on hold to get my coffee.
I just returned after seeing Highpointers again (2nd time) and I can say that my second experience was even more powerful than the first. How can it be so epic?
It is not an "entertaining" movie. It is a creation of a Masterpiece.
The movie is littered with interesting themes which adds further depth to this already amazing story.
5 stars all the way. Great story line, great acting.
A good movie with a good storyline. All the actors were outstanding in their roles.
