Imagine Indiana , a five minute signature film produced exclusively for The Children's Museum, is presented before every feature film. For those compelled to push their limits in the world's most hostile environments, the risk of fatal danger and the thrill of new discovery are the everyday factors that make cave exploration such an awe-inspiring experience. You'll hold your breath as caving expedition leaders Dr. Hazel Barton and Nancy Aulenbach rappel down sharp cliffs into unmapped chambers, hoping to bring back startling new discoveries that may unlock new cures for human disease.

As many of you know, the film tells the story of a 1996 climbing expedition that made it to top of the tallest mountain on Earth, with amazing people who found hope, strength, and triumph in the wake of tragedy. Their successful ascent of Mount Everest just days after fellow mountaineers and friends died there, is a compelling story of their transcendent spirit and the mountain they love, respect, and sometimes fear.
