The interest and inspiration of Big Wall climbing is primarily due to the mountain guides from the Alps. In the USA we have to wait for the sunset of McCarthyism, the birth of the hippie movement, and the protest against the war in Vietnam.
VALLEY UPRISING is a film about the pursuit of the unattainable, the thousand-meter cliffs of Yosemite National Park, and the struggle of the emerging climbing elite against the constraints created by the Park Service. A film about the spirit and the Impossible, which is possible if you commit to it.
Hailed by many as the best climbing film ever made, VALLEY UPRISING, by Peter Mortimer ( The Alpinist, Down Wall, Reel Rock series), is a film about the iron characters made legendary by their achievements on the rock cliffs of El Capitan and Half Dome. In this inspiring epic about the American climbing dream, we'll see legends like Dean Potter, Alex Honnold, Lynn Hill, Jim Bridwell, Royal Robbins, Warren Harding, Yvon Chouinard, John Bachar. The Bulgarian Ivaylo Ninov also participated in the production.
1h38 minutes of senses and spirit charging story, a milestone in cinema documentary about BigWall climbing, a huge bow to the first who made climbing a media interesting and socially significant activity premiere for Bulgaria in its entirety. Across the Atlantic, in France, another legend achieved this first - Gaston Rebuffa
