Touching the Void was made into a highly successful documentary film in 2004. Write a short summary for a cinema guide explaing what the film is about and encouraging people to go and see it.
In 1985, in the Peruvian Andes, two young men, Joe and Simon, were climbing the ice wall.
Everything looked fine, but they couldn’t possibly realize that cruel happening was waiting.
On the way of coming down, Joe broke his leg and fell into crevasse. Simon had to make a terrible decision to cut the rope or to die together.
This is a true story which shows what is courage and friendship. You must be excited and impressed.
English language school in the heart of the Japanese Alps, and English language learners sharing their experiences online. Teachers post regular items about teaching, learning tools, events in the school, their day to day experiences living & working in a foreign country. Students post on whatever takes their fancy - book reports, festivals in home towns, postcards from business trips etc. A little Brit of England in the guts of Japan!

What was your own reaction to the story, Keigo? How do you think Simon & Joe feel about each other these days? If you could ask them a question each, what would you want to ask?
