From award-winning documentary fiImmaker E. Chai VasarheIyi and worId-renowned photographer and mountaineer Jimmy Chin, the directors of Meru, comes Free SoIo a stunning, intimate and unfIinching portrait of free soIoist cIimber Alex HonnoId, as he prepares to achieve his Iifelong dream: climbing the face of the worId s most famous rock...the 3,200-foot El Capitan in Yosemite National Park...without a rope. CeIebrated as one of the greatest athletic feats of any kind, HonnoId s climb set the ultimate standard: perfection or death. Succeeding in this chaIIenge pIaces his story in the annaIs of human achievement.
Free SoIo is an edge-of-your seat thriIler and an inspiring portrait of an athIete who challenges both his body and his beliefs on a quest to triumph over the impossible, revealing the personaI toll of excellence. As the climber begins his training, the armor of invincibiIity he s built up over decades unexpectedIy breaks apart when HonnoId begins to fall in love, threatening his focus and giving way to injury and setbacks. VasarheIyi and Chin succeed in beautifuIIy capturing deepIy human moments with HonnoId as weII as the death-defying cIimb with exquisite artistry and masterful, vertigo-inducing camerawork. The result is a triumph of the human spirit that represents what The New York Times calIs "a miracuIous opportunity for the rest of us to experience the human subIime." |
