I Believe I Can Fly (Flight of the Frenchies) (2011), from Sebastien Montaz-Rosset, is a must see documentary about Baselining, an emerging sport of base jumping from highlines. In this beautiful and subtle film (40 min), we are present with people who are powerfully facing death and fear and living fully by setting up ropes of 1" webbing tightened across huge mountain gulches, tight-rope walking and traversing them with parachutes on their backs and then plunging into space. Truly massive, enormous, heroic peoples of the heart laying it on the line. And beautifully shot with a dslr with a gorgeous soundtrack. Humungous props to the baseliners, highliners, film makers and witnesses who made this film possible.
