Brave New Wild

BRAVE NEW WILD offers an offbeat chronicle of America's Golden Age of rock climbing, tracing the scene both before and after the Dawn Wall ascent in 1970. Four decades on, Oakley Anderson-Moore — daughter of a trailblazer in the sport — uncovers her father's old hi8 tapes and pursues the question: why climb when there’s nothing to gain—and everything to lose? With sly humor and an eclectic original soundtrack, the film threads the mischief of the Vulgarians in the Gunks, the larger-than-life rivalry among Yosemite’s mountaineering gods, and the fruit-tramping, freight-train-hopping world that colored her father's climbing life. A quintessential watch for anyone hungry for true adventure.
