The Mountain Within Me – former rugby player Ed Jackson talks triumph over tragedy

After watching THE MOUNTAIN WITHIN ME and chatting with Ed Jackson, I find myself both inspired and humbled. His resilience and determination are truly awe-inspiring. When faced with what most would consider an insurmountable challenge – being paralyzed from the neck down after a tragic accident – he didn’t wallow in self-pity but instead harnessed his spirit to create a future for himself, his wife Lois, and their family that many thought impossible.

After a devastating spinal cord injury that came close to taking his life, former professional rugby player Ed Jackson‘s world underwent a dramatic transformation. THE MOUNTAIN WITHIN ME chronicles Ed’s inspiring journey towards recovery, as he conquers the mental and physical peaks of Snowdonia, the Alps, and the Himalayas, as well as the life-changing challenges he encounters at home.

Under the guidance of award-winning director Polly Steele and acclaimed producer George Chignell (nominated for BAFTA and EMMY awards), THE MOUNTAIN WITHIN ME offers a captivating, introspective documentary journey exploring the themes of unforeseen transformation, optimism, and rediscovering life’s meaning.

In April 2017, he experienced a severe accident that resulted in a fractured neck and a critical spinal cord injury. This incident left him paralyzed from the chest down, and medical professionals informed him that he would never walk again. Faced with life-altering injuries, Ed Jackson channeled his resilience to carve out a future for himself, his spouse, and their family that many deemed unattainable. This documentary chronicles Ed and his wife Lois as they embark on an extraordinary voyage through their past, present, and candidly discuss their future and the challenges of living with a disability.

In our conversation, we spoke with Ed Jackson regarding his documentary on the accident and what future challenges he’s planning to tackle.
