Free Solo
The Academy Award and BAFTA winning film FREE SOLO, from award-winning documentary filmmaker E. Chai Vasarhelyi and world-renowned photographer and mountaineer Jimmy Chin, follows free soloist climber Alex Honnold as he prepares to achieve his lifelong dream: climbing the face of the world’s most famous rock ... the 3,200-foot El Capitan in Yosemite National Park … without a rope. Hailed by critics as “a visually stunning documentary [that] sets itself apart by intimately probing the psyche of one of the world’s most interesting athletes” and “one of the most arresting documentaries of the year,” FREE SOLO is an edge-of-your-seat thriller and an inspiring portrait of an athlete who challenges both his body and his beliefs on a quest to triumph over the impossible, revealing the personal toll of excellence.
