No, probably just so you don't have to download a single zillion meg
file...in case you for one reason or another can't continue an interrupted
download.

>> Touch the Top of the World - The Film
>> Peter Facinelli (Six Feet Under, Fastlane, The
>> Scorpion King) portrays Erik Weihenmayer, the
>> first blind man ever to climb Mount Everest in the suspenseful,
>> action-packed adventure film. Bruce Campbell (The
>> Adventures of Brisco County Jr., Homicide, X-Files) co-stars as Erik's
>> father.
>>
>> In 2001, Erik Weihenmayer began his ascent up the
>> tallest mountain in the world, Mt. Everest. This
>> was a journey that began very early in life when he
>> was diagnosed with a genetic disorder that
>> ultimately led to total blindness by the time
>> Erik was 13. With the support of an amazing family, Erik never
>> allowed his handicap to hold him back. In the
>> wake of the sudden death of his mother, Erik and
>> his family began taking treks into remote mountain areas
>> to keep their lives intact. Soon Erik was taking
>> on greater challenges, including rock climbing,
>> while finishing college and starting his teaching career.
>> While teaching, Erik met and fell in love with a
>> colleague, Ellie. They married and moved to
>> Denver. After conquering numerous major peaks, Erik decided
>> to confront his biggest challenge yet -- Mount
>> Everest, the world's highest peak. Along the
>> journey, Erik and his team faced unbearably treacherous conditions
>> and witnessed the frozen remains of those who had
>> failed in similar attempts years
>> earlier. Finally, Erik and his colleagues made it to the top of Mount
>> Everest, quite literally the top of the world.

>> Video Description
>> Video descriptions make television programs,
>> feature films, home videos, and other visual
>> media accessible to people who are blind or visually impaired
>> by providing descriptive narration of key visual
>> elements in programs that a viewer might
>> otherwise miss. When described, these elements- including actions,
>> costumes, gestures and scene changes -can fully
>> engage a blind or visually impaired viewer with
>> the story. A carefully written script is prepared by a
>> trained describer, read by a professional
>> narrator, and mixed in a professional audio
>> production suite for broadcast-quality results. A full Descriptive
>> Video Service/DVS® mix consists of the main
>> program audio combined with these narrated descriptions.
