Man on Wire
OP - August 04, 2009, 09:37 PM

I found this documentary about Philippe Petit who walked between the Twin Towers on a high-wire on August 7, 1974, strangely compelling.

Anyone else see it?

I watched it, and it was brilliant. I was getting vertigo just watching him do it. He must be insane, but in a good way.

Yeah, and I found it uplifting and life-affirming.
