Anders Hofman is such an outstandingly inspiring human being. This documentary is not just about this adventure he embarked upon, but it's about him, his childhood, his life, and his motivation for attempting (and subsequently succeeding) easily one of the most insane and dangerous athletic feats of all time. This film beautifully follows this storyline and you get to see him go on a real life version of the hero's journey. You learn not only about him as an athlete, but as a man as well, and get to see from his family's perspective just how much of a genuine person he truly is.
This film is completely riveting. You'll be on the edge of your seat as you watch Anders and his team willingly (and unwillingly) put themselves in some of the most ridiculously dangerous situations. To witness Anders not only be in one of the harshest environments on the planet, but then also complete what is considered to be one of the most challenging athletic competitions of all time while done in normal conditions, and then have the process take several days is just mind-blowing. He is truly a perfect example of the phrase, "Limitations are perceptions."
