FILM MAKERS

In the south of France, the tale of a gypsy family who’s job is to ride the Wall of death. A truly unforgettable journey.

The documentary directed by Didier Canaux, originally broadcast on France 2’s 25 nuances de doc series, follows Kristofe Werdyn and his traveling mechanical circus troupe in the southwest of France. The film explores the lives of modern-day “punks” and free spirits who operate the cylindrical wooden motodrome. Known as the Mur de la mort in France, this classic fairground attraction sees motorcyclists defy gravity by riding horizontally along a vertical wall, performing feats that require immense courage and perfect balance.

Though the film aired on French TV in 2023, it is not currently available to rent or buy. The Vintagent is currently in talks with the film’s distributor to try to bring this film to our readers. Stay tuned!

SUMMARY

Each year, when spring comes around, the Werdyn family gets ready to go on tour. They are as excited as they are stressed due to the inherent danger of their trade. And the truth is they never know if this is going to be their last… But then again, when you perform in a show called the Wall of Death Gypsy, you expect as much. Somewhere in the South of France, Kristofe, their leader, gets them ready for a truly unforgettable journey that will push the limits of fear and bravery.
