Trailer: ‘Sky Ladder’

Directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Kevin Macdonald (‘One Day in September’, ‘The Last King of Scotland’) and co-produced by fellow Oscar winner Fisher Stevens (‘The Cove’), ‘Sky Ladder’ is a Netflix Original Documentary that tells the story of contemporary artist Cai Guo-Qiang.

Synopsis: Told through the artist’s own words and those of family, friends, colleagues, and critics, Sky Ladder traces Cai’s meteoric rise from childhood in Mao’s China to pre-eminent global artist. We witness as Cai struggles with how to affect social change through art, and navigate the compromises and complexities that arise when you’ve made it to the top. When you’ve gone as far as he has, how do you challenge yourself? If you’re Cai Guo-Qiang, you continue to chase the ambitious dream that has eluded you for 20 years—Sky Ladder—a 1,650-foot ladder of fire climbing into the skies, connecting heaven and earth.

‘Sky Ladder’ will premiere on 14th October.
