“If we don’t have these towers up, there’s no signal, there’s no connection to each other.” FS.net is pleased to exclusively debut the official trailer for a documentary titled Vertical Freedom, directed by Doug Lee. This will be out to watch at home starting in early November if it catches your attention. The film introduces us to six diverse tower climbers who must overcome personal struggle and every-day danger to perform extraordinary work at very high levels to connect us all. Vertical Freedom is an epic, feature-length doc film highlighting the professional and personal lives of six communications infrastructure workers in the United States who possess diverse backgrounds & compelling stories, on & off the job. This seems timed perfectly as a companion piece to Fall, the intense fictional thriller about two radio tower climbers who get stuck on the top. This doc is all about the real people who do this as a job, that other one is just a scary story. It looks like an inspiring, rousing story of the fearless people who literally climb to new heights day after day for work.
