The Dawn Wall
This awe-inspiring documentary tells the story of American rock climbers Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson, whom in January, 2015, captivated the world with their effort to free climb The Dawn Wall, a seemingly impossible 3,000 foot rock face in Yosemite National Park, California. The pair lived on the sheer vertical cliff for weeks, igniting a frenzy of global media attention, as they scaled the legendary Dawn Wall section of El Capitan, a famously forbidding 3,000-foot granite monolith of minimal juts and crags, hoisting themselves up what is basically a polished sheet of rock. Caldwell and Jorgeson spend six years meticulously plotting and practicing their route, and on the final attempt, with the world watching, Caldwell is faced with a moment of truth. Should he abandon his partner to fulfill his ultimate dream, or risk his own success for the sake of their friendship? watch the trailer below
