The Rope Warrior - Documentary

Описание: He's still got it.

Synopsis: Born into a conservative Jewish community, David Fisher decided to make the unorthodox choice to jump rope for a living, finding his fifteen seconds of fame in the '90s. 25 years later, David performs for school assemblies as physical injuries intensify. His family begins to wonder...is it time to hang up the rope?

Director's Statement: While cringing through stories of his mother’s sweethearts, Andrew became interested in a man who broke the world record for jumping rope on his butt. What drives someone to achieve such an impressive, but, admittedly absurd goal? David comes from the same affluent Chicago suburb and shared a similar Jewish upbringing as Daniel. The fact that David came from a place that breeds lawyers and doctors made David appeal to us as a character with something to prove. We understand if people think David should hang up the rope, but you’d be a fool to tell him to stop.
