Last night my wife and I watched, Man on Wire. Here is the synopsis:
Philippe Petit captured the world's attention in 1974 when he successfully walked across a high wire between New York's Twin Towers. This documentary (nominated for Best Doc for the Independent Spirit Awards) explores the preparations that went into the stunt as well as the event and its aftermath. Obsessed with the towers even before they were fully constructed, Petit sneaked into the buildings several times to determine the equipment he needed to accomplish his daring feat.Can you imagine trying to pull this off? It was fascinating to hear them retell the story and watch reenactments. These people were truly interesting characters.
If you have a Netflix account you can watch it instantly on your PC or Mac for free.

A few years ago I watched a fascinating National Geographic program about Philippe Petit. In fact I've returned to watch it many times because it's so unbelievable!
Thank you for the post, I look forward to checking out "Man on the Wire."
