Saw this amazing film at the SB International Film Festival yesterday afternoon. It was at the Lobero, where usually at 2 or 4 pm, films are offered free to the community.
Point of No Return – Solar Impulse – Solar Flight
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1J9o2OI1XK8
THE BEHIND THE SCENES DOCUMENTARY ABOUT SOLAR IMPULSE Soaring at 28,000 feet without a drop of fuel, nothing is predictable. Not the weather, not the technology. And certainly not the fate of a man, alone for five days in a fragile, first-of-its-kind aircraft with nothing but ocean below. Point of No Return takes you behind the headlines of the first solar-powered flight around the world—where two courageous pilots, Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg, take turns battling nature, their own crew, and sometimes logic itself, to achieve the impossible. Not just to make history, but to inspire a revolution.
