Touching the Void is an inspiring story about the power of the human will. To my surprise‚ the film left me emotionally spent as it touched on the issues of friendship‚ mortality and survival. I am sure many of my classmates will agree that it is an amazing story. But‚ for me‚ the thing that makes it truly inspirational is the way that Joe never gave up.
