Jimmy Chin and Elizabeth Chai Vaserhelyi are the powerhouse husband and wife duo behind some of the most inspiring and sweat-inducing documentaries of recent years. Across their careers, the pair have recounted the story of Alex Honnold, the first person to climb El Capitan in Yosemite National Park without any ropes (Free Solo), chronicled the heroic rescue of the trapped Thai soccer team in 2018 (The Rescue), and, most recently, restored the original footage from Ernest Shackleton’s phenomenal journey to Antarctica in the early 20th Century, and followed the team who discovered his ship over a century later (Endurance). Notoriously hard workers, the pair have already found their next project, and it sounds like a nail-biter.
