“Der Vogelmensch”

Adventure (), Manuel Brückl 17 min

This film deals with the fate of the delta glider pioneer Mike Harker, who was the first human to fly in the sky with the delta-shaped kite. This documentary depicts the different steps of development of this fascinating sport discipline and shows the limits of the former flying equipment. At the highest point in his career, Harker fell from the sky during a demonstration flight and has since been bound to a wheelchair. However, he succeeds in surmounting this horrible restriction when he glides again in his element, the air, and all its thermal conditions.
