This would have to be one of the most mesmerizing documentaries I have ever seen.

Covers the story of Phillippe Petit's wire walking stunt between the tops of the World Trade Center towers in 1974.

Simply fascinating, I highly recommend you take a look...

Devil at your heels is very collectable... it took me nearly two years to find the copy I wanted on eBay and had to bid a fair amount to get it.

bet it was worth it Adam. a mate of mine taped it from tv so i was lucky.

Mike not a bad docco, watched about half. the ahem version i have has no translations for the french bits but you can kind of make out what they are saying. Its a bit arrogant frenchy 'aha we can get into your towers filthy american'...but still good :-)

anyone got any others? i love this kinda gear.
