The Dawn Wall

Two climbers plan to go up one of the hardest granite walls in the world using only their hands and feet. The climb takes weeks and they sleep on the wall. The documentary does not only cover the climb; it records an episode in which one of them was taken hostage in Central Asia and the loss of a finger in an accident. The narrative puts the decision of whether to wait for his partner at the centre. Peter Mortimer and Josh Lowell directed. It follows the ascent Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson completed in 2015. Who it's for: those who like climbing and endurance documentary. Who it's not for: viewers uncomfortable with heights; the camera keeps showing the drop.
