THE SECOND STEP - Warren Macdonald’s epic journey to Federation Peak
AUSTRALIA, 2001, 26’, col., video
Director Gary Caganoff
Production Suzanne Davies

Warren Macdonald is a mountaneer who underwent an operation in which he had his two legs amputated after an accident at high altitude. The second step is a documentary inspired by his epic 28 - day journey to Federation Peak, in southwest Tasmania.
The Second Step is the profound story of one man's extraordinary courage and determination to take back control of his life.
