A story of resiliency, hope and second chances.

HELL OR HIGH SEAS follows U.S. Navy veteran Taylor Grieger and writer Stephen O’Shea as they embark on the adventure of a lifetime — sailing around Cape Horn, the world’s most treacherous ocean waters. The documentary is a moving portrait of a veteran using his own painful journey with PTSD to find healing for himself, and pave a smoother path for veterans returning to civilian life. From director Glenn Holsten, producer Chayne Gregg, and executive producer Robert Irvine, HELL OR HIGH SEAS is an adventure film with a deep, universal message about perseverance and hope.

EVERY DAY IN AMERICA OVER 20 VETERANS DIE OF SUICIDE. IT’S A DARK, IRONIC FACT THAT THE TRANSITION FOR MILITARY PERSONNEL INTO CIVILIAN LIFE CAN BE MORE DEADLY THAN COMBAT ITSELF.
