Valley Of Giants

In February 2015 Philippe Ribière and Dan Bates visited Oman-based climber Read Macadam in the Sultanate of Oman. With word of a treasure trove of massive potential for bouldering first ascents, they explored a remote canyon high in the Hajar Mountains on the eastern most part of Arabia. What they discovered is world class. Get transported back to another era - an ancient village settlement nestled in a valley full of giant freestanding boulders, and join them as they climb first ascents in the home of a traditional Arabic people from another time.

Directed by Miguel Willis, Read Macadam, Valley Of Giants leans on a strong ensemble — Read Macadam, Philippe Ribière, Dan Bates — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2015.
