This fascinating look at the world of the flying trapeze centers on one of the greatest acts in circus history, The Flying Gaonas. First performing on a trampoline, the Gaonas went on to become the star trapeze attraction for the best circuses in the world, including Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey. Long-time Broadway and film director (and trapeze flyer) Tom Moore brings their story to life through interviews with family members and dazzling archival material. The Gaonas light up the screen with their blazing charisma, a quality that is undiminished in their "second act." Having left the center ring, we see them as they pass the torch through teaching and coaching to new generations.
