Charged: The Eduardo Garcia Story Page #2

Synopsis: Chef Eduardo Garcia went for a hike in the beautiful backcountry of Montana. Literally shocked when he touched a dead bear with his knife, he survived the 2400V jolt and walked out alive. Nearly two dozen surgeries take his left hand, four ribs, and significant muscle mass from his torso, legs, arms, and scalp. Despite all his loss, Eduardo says he would never go back. Charged tells Eduardo's journey from getting up off the forest floor to becoming the man he is today.

We called them the boys.

Indra was two and

a half years old.

We were living in Calabasas

outside of Los Angeles.

Then, when they were

three months old,

their father left

saying he would come back,

that he was gonna

return to Mexico,

he was gonna return to this

little island where he grew up.

I looked at Indra and then I

looked at Eduardo and Eugenio

and I knew that I had

to be there for them

and make the best of

a difficult situation.

She's a very spiritual

woman, my mom

and she founded a

spiritual community in LA.

(slow music)

Almost the entire

community moved to Montana,

I'm talking hundreds of people.

[Indra] There was

definitely like singing

about being Montana bound.

We welcome you to the heart

and we sing the

song of gratitude.

Here, oh universe,

I am grateful.

[Eduardo] I just kind of

think growing up that way

is a privilege.

There's others that

saw our community,

definitely thought it

was a little weird.

I always tell my mom

that was the best move

she could've ever done

was getting us here.

For me it was

almost like we moved

into the set of a National

Geographic magazine.

The mountains had their

own special magical allure

for a child's imagination.

We would spend our summers

fishing in Yellowstone,

running into the hills.

I definitely took

to that very quickly

and made it my home.

[Jennifer] Hello, Ed.

Hey.

No, we're filming this for

just documenting

my recovery for us.

[Woman] Cool.

Yeah.

[Jennifer] It's pretty

hard for a YouTube video.

I saw it as part of the

recovery process to film.

It was really

important to me

that he didn't come

out the other end of it

and be like, why did

you sign that way,

why did you sign this way,

and not really understand.

[Woman] So we would go in

and raise up all

these loose edges

and free them up

so that they can

come together

and allow this hair

to shift to this area.

Okay, and you

think my eyebrows

are gonna be all like this?

[Woman] I hope not.

[Jennifer] Also for Ed,

filming actually kind of

gave him something to do.

See you later, I'm going to

get my head wound closed up.

I'm just kind of coming

out of anesthesia.

[Jennifer] You want

to look at me, Ed?

Very cool.

Ready Jennifer?

[Jennifer] I'm ready.

When you're in the hospital,

every day is the same.

Everything's getting better

but it's very slowly

getting better.

Is it video,

filming right now?

[Jennifer] Mm-hmm.

You close enough?

-[Jennifer] Yep.

-Are you sure?

I think you should

be closer.

Want to turn the light on more?

[Jennifer] No, I'm good.

You're good?

You sure?

[Jennifer] It

just gave a focus

on something other

than just the fact
