Film about the toughest big wall route in the world: Darkest Before Dawn

Immerse yourself in the world of Belgian professional climber Siebe Vanhee, who authentically and genuinely portrays his first season on Yosemite's toughest big wall in the film Darkest Before Dawn. The infamous Dawn Wall proves to be a challenge in more ways than one.

The sincerity with which Siebe Vanhee talks about his failures, his fears and his doubts while battling the world's toughest big wall. Darkest Before Dawn combines authentic storytelling with a cinematic approach that tells a story beyond climbing. Perhaps that's why this film is so authentic because it not only takes on the big dreams of a professional climber, but also captures all the emotions associated with them - positive and negative.
