Ropewalk is an informative and educational tale about rope. You heard me. Rope. An item that is no doubt taken for granted, yet, as the film shows, is also a vital component throughout history almost literally tying all human progress together. Narrated by Bill Hagenbuch, an engineer who made rope creation his life’s work, the film offers both a personal and historic perspective, showing how rope can be used to tether a horse on an early farm or, possibly, in the future, tether giant platforms in space to earth.
