LIVESTRONG & Bolder Broadcasting Announce National Television Debut of Conquering Kilimanjaro

RLTV to Air Film Chronicling Cancer Survivors Inspirational Climb to “Roof of Africa”

AUSTIN, Texas/Orlando, Florida – September 1

For the first time on national television, Conquering Kilimanjaro shares the journey that combines one of the world’s greatest mountains, one of the world’s greatest mountaineers and one of the world’s greatest causes into one of the world’s greatest adventures!

Conquering Kilimanjaro is a feature-length documentary by Marc Middleton, which follows world-renowned mountaineer Chris Warner as he leads 16 cancer survivors and advocates to the 19,341-foot frozen summit of Mount Kilimanjaro.

Presented by LIVESTRONG, the film will air on RLTV’s national audience in primetime, on:

• September 10 at 8:30pm
• September 13 at 9:30pm

(local listings are available at http://rl.tv)

Each airing will be preceded by a special 30-minute episode of Growing Bolder, featuring a behind-the-scenes look at the climb, the film and some never-before-seen clips of what it took to beat the odds and get all 16 team members to the summit at the same time.

Filmmaker and Bolder Broadcasting CEO Marc Middleton says RLTV’s inspirational network is a perfect fit for Conquering Kilimanjaro. “Our film is about the power of love and importance of family and friends. It’s about ordinary people achieving something extraordinary and is an inspirational shout-out to anyone who has faced or is facing a major challenge in their lives. We’re grateful to RLTV for making these two national primetime airings possible.”

“RLTV is proud to be airing the national cable premiere of this important, timely film whose inspiring message will resonate with all of our viewers,” said Brittany Yoder, RLTV’s Senior Manager of Programming.

The film is presented by LIVESTRONG and proceeds from all screenings and DVD sales support the work of the LIVESTRONG Foundation which provides free direct services to help people affected by cancer now.

Exclusive clips, video from the Austin premiere, climber bios and the special edition DVD are available at http://ConqueringKilimanjaro.com.
