Whistler's Twin Peaks (2009)
The Peak to Peak gondola spans Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains, and is quite an impressive feat of engineering. It broke 3 world records – 1. Longest unsupported span of 3.024 kilometres, 2. Highest lift of its kind at 436 metres above the valley floor, and 3. Completes the longest continuous lift system on the globe. Discovery Channel spent two years documenting the massive construction project and has created a riveting story that details many of the challenges that are encountered when building this engineering masterpiece at 6,000 feet.

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
A different way of telling a story
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
