Q & A with subject and producer to follow film

The film is about Nichole Doane, a trauma nurse who found herself suspended 100 feet above the ground after a rappelling error. It was in this terrifying moment that she had a profound mental transformation, which not only spared her life but also became her guiding light during the challenging journey of recovery following her harrowing fall.

“It’s an extraordinary gift to somehow live through what you thought was the end of your life,” says Doane, “I found more wisdom in those few moments than I experienced in the entirety of my life and that shift in perspective rewrote my focus for the future.”

“When I first met Nichole in yoga teacher training, she was in a wheelchair and recovering from the fall, her pelvis held together by a metal bar. Little did I know the impact Nichole and her story would have on my life,” says Director Baylee Sinner. “Watching people walk away from the film applying Nichole’s learnings to their own life is the biggest gift and I can’t wait to watch that happen on a larger scale.
