Season 3 // Episode 1

When Myles Osborne set out to climb Mt. Everest, he knew he was up against a dangerous mountain. What he didn't consider was that it might not be his own life on the line.

Producer Phoebe Flanigan brings us Myles' story, exploring how we make moral decisions — like whether or not to help someone who's nearly dead.
