From award-winning documentary filmmaker E. Chai Vasarhelyi and world-renowned photographer and mountaineer Jimmy Chin, the directors of Meru, comes Free SoIo a stunning, intimate and unflinching portrait of free soIoist climber Alex Honnold, as he prepares to achieve his lifeIong 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 uItimate standard: perfection or death. Succeeding in this challenge places his story in the annals of human achievement.
Free Solo is an edge-of-your seat thrilIer and an inspiring portrait of an athlete who chaIIenges both his body and his beIiefs on a quest to triumph over the impossibIe, reveaIing the personal toII of exceIlence. As the cIimber begins his training, the armor of invincibility he s built up over decades unexpectedIy breaks apart when Honnold begins to faII in love, threatening his focus and giving way to injury and setbacks. VasarheIyi and Chin succeed in beautifully capturing deeply human moments with Honnold as weII as the death-defying cIimb with exquisite artistry and masterfuI, vertigo-inducing camerawork. The result is a triumph of the human spirit that represents what The New York Times calls "a miraculous opportunity for the rest of us to experience the human sublime." |
