Director: Michael Woodward
Released: 2017

Synopsis

11 July 2013, 3AM. After months of training, under the cover of darkness six women begin their illegal ascent of the tallest building in Europe...
What spurred them on and what kept them going? Were they prepared to fail, or worse, to fall? Behind the climbers was a team of tacticians, climbing experts, supporters (and lawyers) who planned and rehearsed with them - but ultimately had to let them climb alone.
A story of courage, endurance and the power of teamwork.
