Touching the Void (2003)


Trailer

5 flakes out of 5.

Even though this is appears to be your "typical" story of survival you have undoubtedly seen over 50 times in your life on regular TV, this one stood out a bit. I'll admit, I can probably watch documentaries like this daily until I die, but what these guys went through was UNBELIEVABLE. It's almost un-real. I think the major point that sets this documentary apart from all of it's cousins and will stick with me was the "cutting the rope" scene. Stick it out with my friend and probably leave both of us dead? or leave them for dead and save myself? Gut wrenching stuff.
