Team of 12 women (5 with breast cancer) prepare for and climb Alaska's Mt. McKinley to raise awareness of breast cancer.

Climb Against The Odds is a moving documentary about the courage of women and the struggle to bring global attention to the crisis of breast cancer. Narrated by Olympia Dukakis, it tells the story of twelve women – some survivors of breast cancer, some cancer free – and their attempt to climb Mt. McKinley, the tallest mountain in North America, and one of the most treacherous climbs in the world. Filmed over the final year of a two-and-a-half year training period, this exhilarating tale delves into the intimate stories of the survivors and the struggles they endure with training, the climb and the disease itself. Their climb takes place during the worst weather on Mt. McKinley in over a decade, and the film holds nothing back as the women struggle to overcome horrible weather, emotional strain and numerous physical ailments. A truly inspirational and stirring film, Climb Against The Odds reveals the heart, spirit and true heroism of these twelve women, and sheds light on a disease that affects not only one woman every minute, but each and every one of us at some point in our lives.
