Nissan had been preparing for this event for quite some time. You may remember the automaker’s Project Titan that used votes on Facebook to build the ultimate adventure rig. The idea was to have two U.S. military veterans and alumni of the Wounded Warrior project complete a weeklong expedition through some of Alaska’s harshest wilderness. Their mission was to complete several tasks for other veteran-centered businesses and programs.

The 21-minute short film not only follows veterans David Guzman and Kevin McMahon on their journey through the stunning Alaskan territory, but also through their traumatic past events in the line of duty. With Guzman suffering from a severe leg injury and McMahon battling PTSD, the two were well aware before starting this mission what its deeper meaning was -- bringing awareness to and support for fellow vets who came home changed from war.

Their missions included bringing new outboard boat engines to a fellow vet who runs a fishing business especially for disabled veterans. Another was hauling firewood and a hog for roasting to a group of volunteers and veterans helping clear land for the local Elks Club. Mostly the trip was about honoring those service members currently deployed, those back home, and those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.

Follow along as the pair take the modified 2014 Nissan Titan through some of the most bone-chilling terrain south of the Arctic Circle.
