The Crash Reel

— “The Crash Reel” (Lucy Walker) “starts as a high-adrenaline sports story [and] grows increasingly deeper and more resonant, [into] an inspiring tale of friendship, recovery and brotherly love.” I think Lucy Walker is one of the best documentary film makers around. I loved “Waste Land” and was amazed that I stayed awake past midnight watching “The Crash Reel”. I’m captivated even when her film focuses on brain injury and extreme sports, but if you can see only one of her films, choose "Waste Land".
