The Artist & the Wall of Death

A Glasgow-based artist's fascination with the Wall of Death, a thrilling fairground motorcycle stunt, turns deadly.

A Glaswegian visual artist, Stephen Skrynka, is consumed by a lifelong passion for riding the "Wall of Death", a traditional fairground motorbike attraction. He aims to turn it into an art form, but clashes with collaborators who prioritize commercial success over his artistic vision. With no funds and a pandemic looming, Stephen takes a risk and builds his own Wall from recycled wood. Despite financial and self-doubt crises, he finds support in unexpected places, including anonymous donations and kindness from strangers. Will he finally ride his creation?
