‘Formula 1: Drive To Survive’ Director Nick Hardie Behind Adidas-Sponsored Climbing Feature
Netflix’s Formula 1: Drive To Survive director Nick Hardie is behind a documentary feature following elite Olympic climbers from the US, UK, Slovenia and Japan, which is being backed by Adidas.
The Wall – Climb for Gold will chart Brooke Raboutou, Shauna Coxsey, Janja Garnbret and Miho Nonaka’s journey to this year’s Tokyo event for the first ever Olympic climbing competition. That journey included a gruelling season of competition and training that saw all their original plans go up in smoke as the Covid-19 pandemic forced the Olympics to be postponed.
