Touching the Void

In 1985, Joe Simpson and Simon Yates, young and skilled climbers, set out to climb the west face of the Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes, a feat that had previously been attempted but never achieved. Disaster strikes when Joe falls a short distance and breaks several bones in his leg. With no hope of rescue, the men decided to attempt the descent together with Yates lowering Simpson 300 feet at a time in a slow, painful process that could have potentially been deadly for both. An unforgettable experience directed by Kevin Macdonald (Oscar-winner ONE DAY IN SEPTEMBER).

Roger Ebert called this chronicle of a famous mountain-climbing disaster, "the most harrowing movie about mountain climbing I have seen, or can imagine."
