Saw this film ages ago but have never forgotten how unbelievably crazy/brave the scenes were. Do yourself a favour and at least rent this. It has to be seen to be believed.

This documentary is amazing. It shows how someone can have the beautiful idea to plan something this wonderful. The story is about the individuals that planned and realised the dream of walking between the twin towers and it's inspirational and shows the love and respect that he has for them.
