Man On Wire


Man On Wire tells the story of Philippe Petit’s 1974 wire walking feat that saw him spend 45 minutes on a high wire suspended between the twin towers of the World Trade Centre. The scope of the project was astronomical and despite the odds being against his team, they pulled it off.

A very inspirational documentary that reinforces the value and power of passion.

“Life should be lived on the edge of life. You have to exercise rebellion: to refuse to tape yourself to rules, to refuse your own success, to refuse to repeat yourself, to see every day, every year, every idea as a true challenge - and then you are going to live your life on a tightrope.” - Philippe Petit (b. 1949)
