Highly recommended... I found it quite beautiful and moving, and it's the only film I've felt compelled to write a blog post[1] about. "Seeing the film (made just last year) transforms the memory of the Towers from one of trauma to something more like transcendence."

Similarly, there was the Robert Zemeckis movie "The Walk" which is a dramatization of the same event.

After watching, I felt the movie was as much a tribute to the WTC as it was about this wire walker. It's a beautiful film.
