My initial intention was to watch "The Walk" on the Apple TV, but I found out that a documentary about the Philippe Petit's crossing of the the two towers of the World Trade Centre was going for 99 cents. I decided to watch "Man on Wire" first as it would give me some insight into the actual feat.
And it was fascinating. It certainly wetted my appetite for the main movie. And I could understand his sadness to see the destruction of the towers on Sept 11. I was also rather impressed with the reaction of the Police after he did his tightrope walk. I was sure he would have been shot dead today if he were to repeat that. Security and people's attitude were certainly different now.
A highly recommended documentary and now for the main feature .....
