‘Journey to the Horizon’ paragliding documentary now on DVD
‘Reise zum Horizont’, ‘Journey to the Horizon’, is Thomas Latzel’s paragliding documentary featuring Ewa Wisnierska and Dorte Schwarz. It picked up the Best Picture award at the Palermo sports film festival, and is now available to buy on DVD from Ewa’s website, in German with English sub-titles.
Following her near-death experience during which she got sucked up to nearly 10,000 m in a thunder cloud in Australia, German paragliding star Ewa Wisnierska was forced to sit back a little, take stock and re-asses what is important in her life. Paragliding is still up there, of course.
69-year-old Dorte Schwarz has spent the last 40 years of her life raising her family and looking after a disabled partner. Now that family commitments have lessened, she has the opportunity to do something for herself. Under Ewa’s tuition she is able to fulfil a long-time ambition of free-flight, but the journey is not without its difficulties. Together the pair overcome various obstacles, and not only get Dorte paragliding, but find some answers to the question of what is really important in life.
