Della and Claire discuss Man on Wire – the 2008 documentary film by James Marsh. The film recreates high-wire daredevil Philippe Petit's 1974 stunt: performing acrobatics on a thin wire strung between the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center. Plotting his feat like a master cat burglar, Petit enlists the help of a group of friends as he calculates every detail, from acquiring building access to stringing up the wire, and manages to pull off an astounding crime.
Music: Erik Satie's "Gymnopedie No. 1" performed by Kevin MacLeod, "Dimension" by Creo, and "Ebb and Flow" by Fabian Measures
