In August 1974, French performer Philippe Petit strung a wire between the two World Trade Center Towers in New York City and balanced on it for nearly an hour. Director James Marsh uses archival footage, contemporary interviews, and recreations to explore Petit's career, detail the clandestine logistics of setting up the Trade Center wire, and reflect upon the profound effects the walk's success had upon Petit and those close to him. In French with English subtitles. Sponsored by the Hirschfield International Film Series. (UK/USA, 2008, 94 minutes)
