Man On Wire (2008) Available on Youtube | Full Episode | Documentary
Philippe Petit had a dream, a passion, a compulsion, to hang a high wire in the most unlikely of places...103 stories above the earth, across the twin giants, the World Trade Towers. Just months after COO's were signed and occupants took residency in the building, a tiny French man with a dream, a knack for showmanship, and impeccable balance, hung his wire, and made history. It was as much history in 1974, as it is today, just as it was in 2008 when this documentary came out.
As is the case for many powerful documentaries, just years later, the story was turned into a major motion picture which utilized 3D Imax filmmaking as a helper to tell this amazing story. This documentary is told solely through the mouths of those that were there that faithful day, and the filmmaker stays out of it, as only a great documentarian shall do.
I love this film. And can re-watch it every year or more.
