Born To Fly (2022)

The story of Armand “Mondo” Duplantis, who was infected by his father's love of pole vaulting and became the best there ever was.

Unexpectedly great look at a champion pole vaulter is strangely one of the most compelling sports docs I've seen in a long time.

There is something about the construction of the film that pulls us in and infects us with the mania that infects Mondo” Duplantis. Its so cleverly told that while it’s clear that Mondo is really good, we are still fooled into thinking that maybe possibly he isn’t going to be as great as he is. Additionally he and his family are absolutely charming and by the end they are family. 

I want to see this again when I can just watch it for fun. A truly great film.
