Johnny Strange : born to fly

Summary: This feature documentary traces the incredible life and tragic death of twenty-three-year-old adventurer Johnny Strange, the youngest person ever to summit the highest peak on all seven continents. A searing examination of what it means to live life to the fullest, it's a raw and candid portrait of a fearless pioneer. Johnny still holds the world's record as the youngest person to parachute onto both the north and south poles. After summiting Everest as a teenager, his passion for altitude and speed led him into the treacherous world of wing-suit base-jumping. Despite constant requests from his family and loved ones to stop flying, especially as the number of deaths in the sport skyrocketed, his resolve never wavered. Filled with gorgeous and heart-pounding imagery of Johnny in flight, this documentary is a peek into the psyche of an American original.
