Matt Roush says...
He believed he could fly. With breathtaking visuals that will make you gasp and perhaps instinctively cover your eyes, a docuseries from veteran climbing chroniclers Peter Mortimer and Nick Rosen (The Alpinist) profiles one of the sport’s most notorious daredevils: the late Dean Potter, a pioneering free solo climber, BASE jumper and highline walker described by a peer as “climber, artist, outlaw.” Half-joking between death-defying stunts, Potter confesses, “I don’t think I’m a very good role model for children.” The four-part series pretty much defines Don’t Try This at Home as Potter declares, “I want to go beyond the limitations of this carcass,” while battling inner demons, competing with free solo climber Alex Honnold (for whom Potter was a childhood hero) and chasing his ultimate dream in the dangerous pursuit of wingsuit flying.
