We interrupt this trilogy on Immigration to America to bring you a newsflash:
“Free Solo”, National Geographic documentary,
playing for a short time in select theaters!
Free Solo: “Free solo climbing . . . is a form of free climbing and solo climbing where the climber (or free soloist) performs alone and without using any ropes, harnesses or other protective equipment, relying entirely on his or her ability instead.”
If you are an athlete, a rock climber or a National Park enthusiast, this film is a must see! Mary & I and a friend attended this evening (14 November) in Durham NC, the film having been recommended to us by 31-year National Park Service career friend and college roommate, Rick Smith. Thank you, Rick! The film, copyright 2018, was shot predominately in Yosemite National Park. Any of you who have been to Yosemite or wish to go to Yosemite will see Yosemite in this film in a way you would never otherwise see it! Extraordinary!
Here are a few online reviews:
- “You don’t have to be a fan of rock climbing to love ‘Free Solo.’ ”
- “Despite the gravity-defying cinematography and alpine setting, ‘Free Solo’ transcends the climbing world and intimately examines something universal.”
Let us hear from you if you take us up on this recommendation.
