MAN ON WIRE

Today I watched a beautiful, awe-inspiring documentary
on French born high wire walker, Philippe Petit.

On August 7, 1974, Philippe Petit (age 24) danced between
The Twin Towers of New York's World Trade Center...
stunning the world!

Where was I three years ago when this film came out!?
If you have Netflix, you can watch it instantly...

"Man on Wire"




I also stumbled across this excellent children's version @
our local library. Written, illustrated and read by Mordicai
Gerstein. The story was portrayed beautifully and totally
inspired my 8 year old.
