Big Blue Sky

http://www.bigblueskythemovie.com/

Big Blue Sky is a feature length documentary about hang gliding, the first Extreme Sport, and how it started. Big Blue Sky is the story of the “Lost Frontier” of flight, tracing the origins of hang gliding from the 1880s thru today, focusing on the golden years of this exciting sport, the 1970s. It is a story of mankind’s spirit, dreams and experiences as much as it is a definitive historical reference.

This is a professionally produced documentary with vintage footage and pictures. Its focus is the 1971 First Universal Hang Gliding Championships. Check out the trailer at the web site.

Donita Hall comes across as having a great time. Belinda and I enjoyed watching it. It is vastly more entertaining than many of the YouTube videos that I have linked to here on the Oz Report over the years (although there are some very entertaining ones).

Belinda thinks that it would do well on NetFlix, which has many documentaries.
