The bridge
Labor Day weekend, a bridge gathering full of BASE jumpers. My mom was there, and she gave me the pilot-chute assist.
The push
I told her I loved her. She counted down, and she pushed. Not many people get launched off a bridge by the person who raised them.
Why we make these films
Battling Monsters is the mental health movement Jamie Leibert founded. PTSD is the monster. A wingsuit is how he manages it. Not a recovery story. A daily fight, filmed. Every film on this site is free because the people who need it most are the ones who cannot pay for it.
