Whats it about..?

A French fella who set up a tightrope between the two towers of the world trade centre and walked across several times, Mad to look at ! He crossed it eight times and lied down on it too, you would have to view it to really take it in !

This documentary is one of the very best I've seen in ages , Philippe Petit is an amazing human being what he did was just creative genius.

+1, absolutly brilliant film, won an oscar a few year back, the man is off his head but when you see the planning and work that went into getting the equipment up both towers it really amazes you.

Touching the Void is better, an incredible story of survival. One of most gripping pieces of film ever made.

Saw this last night alright. Thought it was a bit drawn out to be honest but some of the clips were unbelievable. The photo looking over the edge at the construction site below was unreal.
