Adventure Documentary ’Hell or High Seas’: Veterans in the Spotlight

Written By Guest User

In this episode, I’m joined by U.S. Navy veteran Taylor Grieger and film producer Chayne Gregg to discuss their new documentary Hell or High Seas.

It’s a phenomenal film that follows Taylor Grieger and writer Stephen O’Shea as they go on the adventure of a lifetime, sailing around Cape Horn, the world’s most dangerous ocean waters.

Taylor explains why he set himself such an extreme challenge, and how Adventure Therapy can help Veterans that are suffering from PTSD.

We also discuss why it’s so difficult for Veterans after they leave the forces, the support that’s available for them, and what everyday people like you and me can do to help…

“It’s meant to provide hope where hope is needed, resiliency where resiliency is needed, it’s meant to inspire. Stories can be powerful and Taylor’s story is really powerful.” - Chayne Gregg
