The Beckoning Silence tells the story of Tony Kurz’s heroic battle for survival. However, in telling it, it also forces Joe Simpson to confront a fundamental question – why continue climbing when you have come so close to oblivion? In this gripping, action packed adventure film with a difference, Simpson finally confronts his demons on the Eiger’s North Face and rediscovers the thrill of the climb that once made him feel so alive.
