Freedom is defined as the power of self-determination attributed to the will; the quality of being independent of fate or necessity. To reach that level of liberty is a physical and mental endeavor that many will risk their life to obtain. Is life worth risking for the feeling of conquering fear and becoming free? Olympic Freestyle skier, Jossi Wells, meets extreme sports performing artists, The Flying Frenchies, to find out what it really means to be free and what drives individuals to chase such a powerful right.

Directed by Toa Fraser, this is the story of men who push themselves to the point of no return. There is no going back when death is at your door and you realize that this is the most important moment of your life because it could be your very last.

Critic Reviews for The Free Man

“… while some of their footage is truly breathtaking, the bootcamps and mountain-top descents offer up an overwhelming sense of déjà vu, from both Man on Wire and last year's horrific Point Break remake.” James Croot Stuff.co.nz
