Charged Documentary Film

One moment changes everything.

Eduardo Garcia has always loved food, people, and the natural world.

Just as he began exploring his calling to share those passions with others, he suffered a tragic incident that left him fighting for his life. 

In 2011, Chef Eduardo Garcia was shocked with 2400 volts of electricity in a freak incident in the Montana backcountry.  Alone, inches from death and miles from help, Eduardo managed to get to his feet, and took his first painful steps towards what would ultimately be years of recovery and rehabilitation.

Eduardo not only survived, but relearned to thrive. This firsthand memento mori left him with a dogged sense of gratitude, a fierce clarity on what really matters, and a determination to live his truth, each and every day.

“CHARGED: THE EDUARDO GARCIA STORY” CHRONICLES HIS JOURNEY FROM DEATH’S GRIP, back TO a FULL AND MEANINGFUL LIFE.

Charged was built by a team and a community of filmmakers, family and friends, and medical professionals created a survival story built on the foundations of love and forgiveness. But it is about more than just surviving. It is about building stronger relationships and a better life after tragedy. It is about finding your best self so you can live life fully Charged.
