Man on Wire

A man on a tightrope crossing the Sydney Bridge

An engaging documentary suitable for GCSE and AS/A2 students and their teachers and anyone with an interest in documentary.

Dir: James Marsh, UK 2008, 1hr 34mins, Documentary (12A)
One of the most wildly entertaining documentaries since Touching the Void; this amazingly watchable record and reconstruction of high-wire walker, Philippe Petit’s, 1974 stroll between the twin towers of the World Trade Centre, thousands of feet in the air, cannot, and must not, be missed.
