The My Hero Project:
From Wikipedia: The MY HERO Project is a United States based non-profit organization that hosts stories on heroes and heroism. People all over the world write, produce and post written and video stories and works of art about their personal heroes on the The MY HERO web site. The MY HERO Short Film Festival, held once a year, showcases the films submitted from children and adults and recognizes commercial media that calls attention to real life heroes.
Ron Kovic:
From Wikipedia: Ronald Lawrence Kovic (born July 4, 1946) is an anti-war activist, veteran and writer who was paralyzed in the Vietnam War. He is best known as the author of the memoir Born on the Fourth of July, which was made into an Academy Award–winning movie directed by Oliver Stone, with Tom Cruise playing Kovic. Kovic received the Golden Globe Award for Best Screenplay on January 20, 1990, exactly 22 years to the day that he was shot and paralyzed in the Vietnam War. He was also nominated for an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay (Kovic and Stone co-wrote the screenplay for Born on the Fourth of July).
Everest: A Climb for Peace: Narrated by Orlando Bloom and hailed as a “tremendous achievement” by the Dalai Lama. Everest: A Climb for Peace is not just a typical Everest film, but a socially relevant documentary about peace, war, and the human spirit - an inspirational film, which also has some of the most incredible Everest footage ever shot, including a dramatic rescue from near the summit of Everest.
