Family is everything, whether it’s a blood bond or one you’ve created with people you care for and vice versa. Either way they may not always be good for each other, but everyone does their best at least some of the time. Providing the basic necessities is key and afforded by any means necessary, if that’s what it takes. Unfortunately, no matter how infinite love and support are, they don’t pay the bills or put food on the table. In Donnybrook, a father puts it all on the line to give his family a better life.
It’s not often a personal accomplishment doubles as a global inspiration. Human history is filled with memorable affairs, but this one left its mark on the world without changing it in any way. Moreover, in an amusing turn of events, the impossible act would be achieved by a Frenchman on American soil. In 1974, Philippe Petit successfully walked across a line he fastened between the roofs of the Twin Towers in New York. The Walk is the attractive retelling of his journey into history.
