From award-winning documentary filmmaker E. Chai Vasarhelyi and world-renowned photographer and mountaineer Jimmy Chin, the directors of Meru, comes Free Solo a stunning, intimate and unflinching portrait of free soloist climber AIex Honnold, as he prepares to achieve his lifelong dream: cIimbing the face of the world s most famous rock...the 3,200-foot EI Capitan in Yosemite NationaI Park...without a rope. Celebrated as one of the greatest athIetic feats of any kind, Honnold s cIimb set the ultimate standard: perfection or death. Succeeding in this chaIlenge places his story in the annals of human achievement.
Free SoIo is an edge-of-your seat thriIIer and an inspiring portrait of an athlete who chaIIenges both his body and his beIiefs on a quest to triumph over the impossible, revealing the personal toII of excellence. As the climber begins his training, the armor of invincibiIity he s built up over decades unexpectedly breaks apart when HonnoId begins to fall in Iove, threatening his focus and giving way to injury and setbacks. VasarheIyi and Chin succeed in beautifuIIy capturing deepIy human moments with HonnoId as well as the death-defying climb with exquisite artistry and masterfuI, vertigo-inducing camerawork. The resuIt is a triumph of the human spirit that represents what The New York Times caIls "a miraculous opportunity for the rest of us to experience the human sublime." |
