"Gold Star Peak" follows Iraq veteran Kirk Alkire, who found his own healing in Alaska's mountains after serving in Iraq, and turned that personal sanctuary into a transformative experience for other veterans, Gold Star families, and first responders. The documentary captures how the challenging climb up the unnamed peak Kirk dedicated to fallen heroes becomes a powerful form of outdoor therapy, where participants find the courage to open up and process grief they've carried for years. Through intimate moments on the mountain—from leaving dog tags at the summit to simply sharing stories along the trail—the film reveals how nature and shared vulnerability create pathways to healing that traditional therapy sometimes cannot reach.
