Honestly, for me, this is the absolute best kind of disaster documentary: - the story is ABSOLUTELY bonkers from start to finish - the climbers themselves are narrating (so you know they somehow managed to survive) - I never need to worry…

The story behind "Touching the Void" could have been a good documentary. Instead, we get this half-hearted (at best) re-enactment using actors to impersonate the actual people. There is neither background information on the climbers nor…

Joe Simpson is simply a remarkable human being. His extraordinary tenacity and courage in facing such insurmountable obstacles was unfathomable. Excruciating pain, unforgivable terrain, crippling fear... Unreal. I don't have high praise…

What a testament to the will to survive. A recreation of the events, with narratives by the survivors. Very compelling and well done.

A remarkable tale of coincidences, individual strength -- emotional and physical -- and perseverance, difficult decisions, and survival in the face of almost certain death. Impressive scenery and cinematography.
