'THE WALL - CLIMB FOR GOLD' - Feature documentary
1 x 90'
Apple / Netflix

"Hardie takes the audience through these stories that culminate in and after the Olympic Final. What is most impressive, aside from the athletes themselves, is the manner by which he does this. This film will be remembered as part of a turning point in climbing’s history."
Noah Walker, Gripped

"Watching this documentary is like being with the four Olympians every step of their journey. The film gives us an insight to every feeling and emotion that runs in their veins throughout the entirety of the competition."
Pankhuri Bhutani, Film Asthete

"These scenes reveal the vulnerable underbelly of these athletes and the dissonance between how others view them and how they feel internally. It’s difficult to imagine a film about male climbers displaying such intense vulnerability, but it only improves the genre. Climbing documentaries, from Free Solo to the Dawn Wall, are wearily male focused. It is refreshing to watch the camera turn unquestioningly toward female competitors, with the male voices relegated to dads and coaches on the sidelines."
Drew Higgins, Sierra Club
 

"Nick Hardie’s film captures the tension of performance through both Olympic qualifying and the competition itself. This is an emotional and fascinating glimpse into a minority sport making its debut on the biggest of world stages."

At the time of writing, five days after it came out, viewers had already screened 28 million hours of the new series, according to Netflix, and within a week it had become one of service’s top 10 TV shows in 50 countries, including the UK and Ukraine."
Alex Moshakis, The Guardian

"The series is a potent mix of...high drama that affirms the power...and the promise of access journalism."
Carrie Battan, The New Yorker

"Fans will be gripped by a series still way ahead of the pack"
Vithushan Ehantharajah, The Independent

"More than any other viewing experience, the series manages to capture the true drama of F1, shining a light on the stories – personal, political, technical – that make the sport so high-octane."
Victoria Turk, Wired
