High Wire

About This Movie

High Wire is this intriguing documentary that dives into the complexities of Canada’s decision not to join the 2003 Iraq War. The pacing is methodical, almost contemplative, which lets you really soak in the weight of the diplomatic discussions. It doesn’t have the flashiest production, but that’s where its strength lies—there's a rawness to the interviews and archival footage that makes the story feel immediate and real. You get a genuine sense of the tension between Canada and the US, and it’s fascinating to see how diplomatic strategies play out behind closed doors. The tone is reflective, sometimes tense, and really challenges you to think about international relations and national identity.
