Free Solo

Some documentaries aren’t much more than footage, but this truly capture the essence of the climb and all those involved. I was just excited to see Alex do something that seems humanly impossible, but this truly captured the human spirit and how our lives intertwine with one another. No matter what Alex feels, his actions affect those who care about him. They respect him and don’t want to stop him from living his dream, but they also know they could be walking him toward his death. It’s a hard thing to grapple with, but it was a beautiful display of emotion and just sheer human capability.
