Free Solo
January 26, 2019 - January 27, 2019
Academy Award Nominee: Best Documentary Feature … A stunning, intimate and unflinching portrait of the free soloist climber Alex Honnold, as he prepares to achieve his lifelong dream: climbing the face of the world’s most famous rock…the 3,000ft El Capitan in Yosemite National Park…without a rope.
Directors: Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin
Runtime:100 min / presented in part by IU Outdoor Adventures
Critic’s Pick! Alex Honnold’s Free Solo climb should be celebrated as one of the great athletic feats of any kind, ever…. A miraculous opportunity for the rest of us to experience what you might call the human sublime -The NY Times
Both intimate and expansive, Free Solo is a documentary beautifully calculated to literally take your breath away. And it does. -Los Angeles Times
Whether you care about climbing or not, you’ll appreciate this tale of passion, discipline and, ultimately, transcendence. One incredible climb for one athlete, one quantum leap for mankind. -Toronto Globe and Mail
