Description

CHARGED chronicles the life-changing journey of chef and outdoorsman Eduardo Garcia after he is shocked by 2400 volts of electricity in a freak accident while hiking in the remote backcountry of Montana. Eduardo lost his hand, ribs, muscle mass, and nearly his life, but more important than what he lost is what he found. Through sheer resilience, he reclaims his life, helped by his former partner, Jennifer Jane, who nurses Eduardo back to health. He learns to embrace his past, his family, and his future. A survival and love story unlike any other, CHARGED tells Eduardo’s remarkable journey from getting up off the forest floor to becoming the man he is today.

    Finally got around to watching after hearing his story through the Meateater podcast. After getting injured and almost losing my leg I can definitely relate to the struggle to get back to “normal”.

    I first saw eduardo garcia on steve rinella’s meat eater show on netflix. There was just something about him and i don't mean his arm. He had a great positivity to him and an infectious smile. This documentary was so well done. It left me feeling inspired and motivated to make to most of life and to be appreciative and grateful.

    This documentary turned out to be an absolute winner for me - and that despite a rather slow start in the first 20 minutes. Amazing to share Eduardo's resolve at every corner of his never ending nightmare - and coming out on top. Truly great film making about a character that is larger than life without knowing what he was capable of.

    I saw this awesome film at Telluride Mountain Film Festival! This is one of my favorite documentaries ever! The basis for the film alone is awe-inspiring, yet it is all the intimate and intricate story lines and that are very delicately and immersively woven together that make this film so unique. CHARGED is a survial story mixed with a love story that inspires and motivates. It's beautifully shot and masterfully edited. I can't wait to watch this again!
