Netflix has released the trailer for a new documentary film titled Skywalkers: A Love Story. This film tells the death-defying story of a Russian couple who are obsessed with tower climbing, which is also known as “rooftopping”.
The two break into areas and illegally climb to the top of massive towers so they can take photos and videos for their social media channels. This film focuses on them as they embark on an adventure to scale the world’s second-highest skyscraper.
In the film, “A daredevil couple risks it all by going where no one has gone before: the top of the world’s second-highest skyscraper. Angela and Vanya are Russia’s preeminent rooftoppers who defy the odds (and death) to scale the globe’s tallest buildings.
“As their acrobatic stunts go viral and rack up millions of online views, they put their love and trust to the test with a dangerous new activity called “skywalking.” Filmed over six years across six countries, this documentary captures extreme climbing in harrowing detail.”
Skywalkers: A Love Story is directed and written by Emmy-winning filmmaker Jeff Zimbalist (Favela Rising, The Two Escobars, Momentum Generation). This looks like a cheesy movie and I’ve heard it’s not good.
The movie will be released in IMAX theaters for one week only on July 12th, 2024. The film will then hit Netflix on July 19th, 2024.
