TOUCHING THE VOID

Review: The true story of two young climbers, Joe Simpson and Simon Yates who set out to be the first to reach the summit of the Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes in 1985.
Director: Kevin Macdonald
Actors: Simon Yates, Joe Simpson, Brendan Mackey and Nicholas Aaron
Year: 2003
Genre: Adventure, Documentary, Drama and Sport
Conclusion: 5/5
A really tense and gripping documentary. While watching this I found myself on the edge of my seat all the way through. I think this is definitely the best mountain film that has ever been made and filmed. The themes are having the courage, survival and faith to carry on and also friendship. At the Bafta Awards in 2004 this won the Alexander Korda Award for Best British Film.
