Higher Ground

About This Movie

Higher Ground is quite the immersive experience, really. It’s not just about the adventure; it captures the sheer beauty and unpredictability of the Himalayas. The cinematography is breathtaking, showcasing those sweeping mountain vistas that only paragliding can provide. Thomas de Dorlodot and Horacio Llorens' journey feels personal, almost intimate, as they navigate their own fears and triumphs while flying over Rohtang Pass. There’s a raw, authentic quality to the film, and the pacing allows you to savor those quieter moments just as much as the exhilarating flights. You get a real sense of the bond between the two adventurers, and their performances are totally genuine. If you appreciate documentaries that blend adventure with a philosophical undertone, this one definitely stands out.
