Abramorama has acquired North American theatrical rights to Hanging By A Wire, director Mohammed Ali Naqvi’s Sundance premiere docudrama. 

The film will open in New York on August 28 and expand to theatres across North America ahead of its fourth quarter streaming debut. Dogwoof is launching the film in cinemas in the UK and Ireland on the same date. 

The US/UK/Pakistan project recounts the true story of a school commute that turned terrifying when a snapped cable car wire left eight passengers suspended hundreds of feet above a ravine in the foothills of the Pakistani Himalayas. 

Mohammed Ali Naqvi’s nail-biting thriller documentary Hanging by a Wire, which premiered at Sundance earlier this year, has now been acquired by AB2 Media Group and its theatrical releasing division Abramorama. Ahead of an August 28th theatrical release, the first trailer and poster have now arrived.
