Icarus is a documentary about Jesse Sink a story inspired on his book ‘The shock of the lifetime’. A real story worth telling because they transcend the human experience and teach us how to overcome adversity in our lives. It is said that a man is only a product of his adversity. And Jesse has seen plenty. His tale unfolds more like a modern version of a ‘classical myth’. You see human always had the fear of death its the fear of the great unknown. Our only resource of knowledge about the underworld comes from humans that passes thought the good VS evil, light vs darkness. Jesse’s savage battle for his life and his long road to self retribution is the stuff of legends and like Hercules and many before him he fought valiantly and bravely against the forces of nature against man and against his arch enemy, himself. he stands as a testament to the Creed of the Spartans ‘Never Retreat Never Surrender’ and to this day the loss of a limb and the total transformation of his body haven’t managed to show him down on his goals.
