In this week's episode, we discuss two documentaries which deal with seemingly tortured individuals undertaking extremely impressive physical and mental feats.
First, 2018 climbing doc "Free Solo", which tells the story of Alex Honnold and his attempt to scale the El Capitan rock face in Yosemite National Park without any equipment.
Secondly, "Little Dieter Needs to Fly", a 1997 Werner Herzog documentary about the brilliantly named US pilot, Dieter Dengler, who was shot down over Laos in the Vietnam War.
