Nat Geo documentary that premieres September 24 (time to be announced) and streams the next day on Disney+ and Hulu. The doc will also have an exclusive limited engagement in 300 IMAX theaters on September 3 and 4

In FLY, directors Shaul Schwarz and Christina Clusiau ("Shaun White: The Last Run," "Immigration Nation," the Emmy(R) Award-winning "Trophy") immerse viewers into the adrenaline-fueled yet perilous world of BASE jumping. Equally heartfelt and hair-raising, FLY offers truly awesome big-screen viewing, inviting audiences to take the leap into a visceral experience that celebrates living your life and following your dreams through the beauty of human flight. While the risk of injury and death are a part of the life BASE jumpers have chosen, FLY shows the passion for living that guides three couples whose love stories are unique and extraordinary. In getting to know them, audiences are introduced to the tight-knit community of BASE jumpers, athlete adventurers bound by their shared love for each other and the exhilaration of defying gravity.
