Super Frenchie provides an intimate look at the life of professional skier and BASE jumper Matthias Giraud, who stops at nothing to pursue his passion for adventure.

A great advebture movie/documentary about a man that faces his fears as he becomes a husband and father while living as a base jumper. I loved the great visuals and sound but the story and his philosophy made it great. I will watch it again and recommend it to friends. BIg screen! Sound up!
